BACKGROUND

Antibody-based reagents have accelerated the pace of biological researchand development. Antibody compositions represent one of the mostimportant and successful classes of therapeutic and diagnostic agentsutilized in the pharmaceutical industry. However, cost, time andefficacy have motivated the development of alternative affinityreagents.

A variety of non-antibody binding formats have emerged for applicationshistorically served by antibodies. While many successes have beenreported for unstructured, linear peptides, more robust results havebeen achieved by imposing a structural constraint on the peptidesequence—typically through the introduction of a disulfide bond. Thisconstraint affords higher affinity and greater specificity through themore favorable thermodynamics of fixed-shape complementarity and surfacepresentations of residues (e.g., hydrophobic amino acids) that mightotherwise be buried and therefore not target-facing (Ladner, Trends inBiotech. 13(10): 426-430 (1995)). Conversely, formats that containdisulfide bonds are typically prone to improper pairing of cysteines,either intra-domain or inter-domain, that can lead to lower expression,product yield and product quality.

Structure found in protein subdomains has provided another source ofstructural constraint. Structures such as fibronectin type III repeats(adnectins), z-proteins (affibodies), knottins, lipocalins (anticalins)and ankyrin repeats (DARPins) have been developed with antibody-likeaffinities against a variety of different targets (Hey et al., Trends inBiotech. 23(10): 514-422 (2005)). These domains typically contain twofeatures that are analogous to the frameworks and complementaritydetermining regions (CDRs) found in antibody variable domains: astructural scaffold that imparts high thermodynamic stability andresidues or loops that form the basis of the display library'svariability.

SUMMARY

There remains a substantial unmet need for new target-bindingcompositions, and particularly for such agents containing alternativebinding scaffolds (e.g., non-antibody scaffolds). Agents of particularinterest may be characterized by, for example, substantially reducedproduction costs and/or comparable or superior reagent, diagnosticand/or therapeutic properties as compared to antibodies.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIGS. 1A-1B, DDpp impart novel binding specificities to another molecule(e.g., a full length antibody) as part of a fusion protein (e.g., anantibody-DDpp fusion protein. DDpp-antibody fusions were created usingan RSV-specific antibody (SYN) and either the target-less peptide of SEQID NO: 1 (DD) or the CD137-specific DDpp (bb10) (SEQ ID NO: 876). TheDDpp are fused to the N-terminus (bb10-SYN and DD-SYN) or the C-terminus(SYN-bb10 and SYN-DD). All four antibody fusions bind to RSV (FIG. 1A).However, the fusion of bb10 to either the N-terminus (bb10-SYN) orC-terminus (SYN-bb10) of the antibody heavy chain imparts a novel CD137binding specificity to an otherwise mono-specific antibody (FIG. 1B).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The section headings used herein are for organizational purposes onlyand are not to be construed as in any way limiting of the subject matterdescribed.

Definition of Terms

It is understood that wherever embodiments, are described herein withthe language “comprising” otherwise analogous embodiments, described interms of “consisting of” and/or “consisting essentially of” are alsoprovided. However, when used in the claims as transitional phrases, eachshould be interpreted separately and in the appropriate legal andfactual context (e.g., “comprising” is considered more of an open-endedphrase while “consisting of” is more exclusive and “consistingessentially of” achieves a middle ground).

As used herein, the singular form “a”, “an”, and “the” includes pluralreferences unless indicated otherwise.

The term “and/or” as used in a phrase such as “A and/or B” herein isintended to include both A and B; A or B; A (alone); and B (alone).Likewise, the term “and/or” as used in a phrase such as “A, B, and/or C”is intended to encompass each of the following embodiments: A, B, and C;A, B, or C; A or C; A or B; B or C; A and C; A and B; B and C; A(alone); B (alone); and C (alone).

The terms “protein” and “polypeptide” are used interchangeably herein torefer to a biological polymer comprising units derived from amino acidslinked via peptide bonds; a protein can be composed of two or morepolypeptide chains.

The terms “antibody” or “immunoglobulin,” as used interchangeablyherein, include full-length antibodies and antibody fragments includingany functional domain of an antibody such as an antigen-binding fragmentor single chains thereof, an effector domain, salvage receptor bindingepitope, or portion thereof. A typical antibody comprises at least twoheavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains interconnected by disulfidebonds. Each heavy chain is comprised of a heavy chain variable region(abbreviated herein as VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavychain constant region is comprised of three domains, CH1, CH2, and CH3.Each light chain is comprised of a light chain variable region(abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The lightchain constant region is comprised of one domain, Cl. The VH and VLregions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability,termed Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs), interspersed withregions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FW). Each VHand VL is composed of three CDRs and four FWs, arranged fromamino-terminus to carboxyl-terminus in the following order: FW1, CDR1,FW2, CDR2, FW3, CDR3, FW4. The variable regions of the heavy and lightchains contain a binding domain that interacts with an antigen. Theconstant regions of the antibodies can mediate the binding of theimmunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells ofthe immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q)of the classical complement system. Examples of antibodies of thepresent disclosure include typical antibodies, scFvs, and combinationsthereof where, for example, a DDpp is covalently linked (e.g., viapeptide bonds or via a chemical linker) to the N-terminus of either theheavy chain and/or the light chain of a typical whole (full-length)antibody, or intercalated in the H chain and/or the L chain of afull-length antibody.

The term “antibody fragment” refers to a portion of an intact antibodyand refers to any functional domain of an antibody such as anantigen-binding fragment or single chains thereof, an effector domain ora portion thereof, and a salvage receptor binding epitope or a portionthereof. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to,Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)2, and Fv fragments, linear antibodies, single chainantibodies, and multi-specific antibodies formed from antibodyfragments. “Antibody fragment” as used herein comprises anantigen-binding site or epitope binding site. In one embodiment, theDDpp fusion protein comprises an effector domain or portion thereof. Inone embodiment, the DDpp fusion protein comprises a salvage receptorbinding epitope, or portion thereof.

As used herein, the term, “Fc region” or simply “Fc” is understood tomean the carboxyl-terminal portion of an immunoglobulin chain constantregion, preferably an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region, or aportion thereof. For example, an immunoglobulin Fc region may comprise(1) a CH1 domain, a CH2 domain, and a CH3 domain, (2) a CH1 domain and aCH2 domain, (3) a CH1 domain and a CH3 domain, 4) a CH2 domain and a CH3domain, or (5) a combination of two or more domains and animmunoglobulin hinge region. Thus, in various embodiments, Fc refers tothe last two constant region immunoglobulin domains of IgA, IgD, andIgG, and the last three constant region immunoglobulin domains of IgEand IgM, and the flexible hinge N-terminal to these domains. For IgA andIgM Fc may include the J chain. For IgG, Fc comprises immunoglobulindomains Cγ2 and Cγ3 and the hinge between Cγ1 and Cγ2. In a preferredembodiment the immunoglobulin Fc region comprises at least animmunoglobulin hinge region a CH2 domain and a CH3 domain, andpreferably lacks the CH1 domain. In one embodiment, the class ofimmunoglobulin from which the heavy chain constant region is derived isIgG (Igγ) (γ subclasses 1, 2, 3, or 4). Other classes of immunoglobulin,IgA (Igα), IgD (Igδ), IgE (Igε) and IgM (Igμ), may be used. Although theboundaries of the Fc region may vary, the human IgG heavy chain Fcregion is usually defined to comprise residues C226 or p260 to itscarboxyl-terminus, wherein the numbering is according to the EU index asset forth in Kabat (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of ImmunologicalInterest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, NIH, Bethesda, Md. (1991)). Fcmay refer to this region in isolation, or this region in the context ofa full-length antibody, antibody fragment, or Fc fusion protein.Polymorphisms have been observed at a number of different Fc positions,including but not limited to positions 270, 272, 312, 315, 356, and 358as numbered by the EU index, and thus slight differences between thepresented sequence and sequences in the prior art may exist. The choiceof appropriate immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region is discussedin detail in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,541,087, and 5,726,044, each of which isherein incorporated by reference in its entirety. The choice ofparticular immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region sequences fromcertain immunoglobulin classes and subclasses to achieve a particularresult is considered to be within the level of skill in the art. Theportion of the DNA construct encoding the immunoglobulin Fc regionpreferably comprises at least a portion of a hinge domain, andpreferably at least a portion of a CH3 domain of Fc gamma or thehomologous domains in any of IgA, IgD, IgE, or IgM. Furthermore, it iscontemplated that substitution or deletion of amino acids within theimmunoglobulin heavy chain constant regions may be useful in thepractice of the methods and compositions disclosed herein. One examplewould be to introduce amino acid substitutions in the upper CH2 regionto create an Fc variant with reduced affinity for Fc receptors (Cole, J.Immunol. 159: 3613 (1997)).

“Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity” or “ADCC” refer to acell-mediated reaction in which nonspecific cytotoxic cells that expressFc receptors (FcRs) (e.g., Natural Killer (NK) cells, neutrophils, andmacrophages) recognize bound antibody on a target cell and subsequentlycause lysis (or other cytotoxic effects) of the target cell. To assessADCC activity of a molecule of interest, any in vitro ADCC assay knownin the art can be used, such as that described in U.S. Pat. No.5,500,362 or 5,821,337. Useful effector cells for such assays include,but are not limited to, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) andNatural Killer (NK) cells. Alternatively, or additionally, ADCC activityof the molecule of interest can be assessed in vivo, e.g., in an animalmodel such as that disclosed in Clynes et al. PNAS 95: 652-656 (1998).

The terms “single chain variable fragment(s),” or “scFv” antibodies asused herein refer to forms of antibodies (e.g., antibody fragments)comprising the variable regions of only the heavy and light chains,connected by a linker peptide. In one embodiment, a DDpp fusion proteincomprises a DDpp and a scFv.

The term “linker” refers to a peptide or other chemical linkage locatedbetween a DDpp and another polypeptide of a DDpp fusion protein.Suitable linkers for coupling the two or more linked DDpp will be clearto the persons skilled in the art and non-limiting examples aredescribed herein.

The term “operably linked,” as used herein, indicates that two moleculesare attached so as to each retain at least some level of functionalactivity that each molecule had alone (assuming that each molecule had afunction activity). In embodiments, when one molecule was withoutfunctional activity, it is operably linked with another molecule if theother molecule retains at least some level of its functional activity.Operably linked can also refer to linkage of two non-functionalmolecules. Two molecules can be “operably linked” whether they areattached directly or indirectly (e.g., via a linker).

The terms “specifically binds,” “having selective affinity for,”“binds,” or “binding” are used interchangeably to mean that a bindingagent such as a DDpp reacts or associates more frequently, more rapidly,with greater duration, with greater affinity, or with some combinationof the above, to the epitope, protein, or target molecule than withalternative substances, including proteins unrelated to the targetepitope, protein, or target molecule. Because of the sequence identitybetween homologous proteins in different species, specific binding can,in some embodiments, include a binding agent that recognizes a proteinor target in more than one species. Likewise, because of homology withincertain regions of polypeptide sequences of different proteins, specificbinding can include a binding agent that recognizes more than oneprotein or target. It is understood that, in certain embodiments, abinding agent that specifically binds a first target may or may notspecifically bind a second target. As such, “specific binding” does notnecessarily require (although it can include) exclusive binding, e.g.,binding to a single target. Thus, a binding agent may, in certainembodiments, specifically bind more than one target. In certainembodiments, multiple targets may be bound by the same antigen-bindingsite on the binding agent.

“Target” refers to any molecule or combination of molecules that can bebound by a DDpp such as a DDpp fusion protein, or other component of theDDpp fusion protein such as an antibody or antibody variable domainfragment.

The terms “epitope” and “antigenic determinant” are used interchangeablyherein and refer to that portion of any molecule (e.g., a target ofinterest such as BCMA, CD123, AFP, or AFP p26) capable of beingrecognized and specifically bound by a particular binding agent (e.g.,an DDpp or antibody). When the recognized molecule is a polypeptide,epitopes can be formed from contiguous amino acids and noncontiguousamino acids and/or other chemically active surface groups of molecules(such as carbohydrates) juxtaposed by tertiary folding of a protein.Epitopes formed from contiguous amino acids are typically retained uponprotein denaturing, whereas epitopes formed by tertiary folding aretypically lost upon protein denaturing. An epitope typically includes atleast 3 amino acids, and more usually, at least 5 or 8-10 amino acids ina unique spatial conformation.

A “peptide tag” as used herein refers to a peptide sequence that is partof or attached (for instance through genetic engineering) to anotherprotein, to provide a function to the resultant fusion. Peptide tags areusually relatively short in comparison to a protein to which they arefused; by way of example, peptide tags are, in some embodiments, four ormore amino acids in length, such as, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, or 25 ormore amino acids. In some embodiments, the DDpp is a fusion protein thatcontains a peptide tag. In other embodiments, the DDpp specificallybinds a peptide tag. Numerous peptide tags that have uses as providedherein are known in the art. Examples of peptide tags that may be acomponent of a DDpp fusion protein or a target bound by a DDpp (e.g., aDDpp fusion protein) include but are not limited to HA (hemagglutinin),c-myc, the Herpes Simplex virus glycoprotein D (gD), T7, GST, GFP, MBP,Strep-tags, His-tags, Myc-tags, TAP-tags and FLAG® tag (Eastman Kodak,Rochester, N.Y.) Likewise, antibodies to the tag epitope allow detectionand localization of the fusion protein using techniques known in theart, such as, Western blots, ELISA assays, and immunostaining of cells.

The term “naturally occurring” when used in connection with biologicalmaterials such as a nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides, and hostcells, refers to those which are found in nature and not modified by ahuman being. Conversely, “non-natural” or “synthetic” when used inconnection with biological materials refers to those materials which arenot found in nature and have been modified by a human being.

As used herein “modifications” with respect to the sequence of areference sequence includes substitutions, deletions insertions and/oradditions of the sequence of the corresponding amino acid position ofthe reference sequence (e.g., a DD disclosed herein).

A “substitution” with respect to the sequence of a reference sequencerefers to a replacement of a particular amino acid residue with adifferent amino acid residue at a corresponding amino acid position ofthe reference sequence.

A “conservative” amino acid substitution is one in which one amino acidresidue is replaced with another amino acid residue having a similarside chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chainshave been defined in the art, including basic side chains (e.g., lysine(K), arginine (R), histidine (H)), acidic side chains (e.g., asparticacid (D), glutamic acid (E)), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine(G), asparagine (N), glutamine (Q), serine (S), threonine T, tyrosine(Y), cysteine (C)), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine (A), valine (V),leucine (L), isoleucine (I), proline (P), phenylalanine (F), methionine(M), tryptophan (W), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine (T),valine (V), isoleucine (I)) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine(Y), phenylalanine (F), tryptophan (W), histidine (H)). For example,substitution of a phenylalanine for a tyrosine is a conservativesubstitution. In particular embodiments, conservative substitutions inthe sequences of the DDpp result in the altered or unaltered specificbinding of the DDpp containing the substitution to the target ofinterest (e.g., BCMA, CD123, AFP, or AFP p26) to which it binds. In oneembodiment, conservative substitutions in the sequences of the DDpp donot abrogate the binding of the DDpp containing the substitution to thetarget of interest to which it binds. Methods of identifying nucleotideand amino acid conservative substitutions and non-conservativesubstitutions which confer, alter or maintain selective binding affinityare known in the art (see, e.g., Brummell, Biochem. 32: 1180-1187(1993); Kobayashi, Protein Eng. 12(10): 879-884 (1999); and Burks, PNAS94: 412-417 (1997)).

A “non-conservative” amino acid substitution is one in which one aminoacid residue is replaced with another amino acid residue having adissimilar side chain. In one embodiment, non-conservative substitutionsin the sequences of the DDpp result in the specific binding of the DDppcontaining the substitution to the target of interest (e.g., BCMA,CD123, AFP, or AFP p26) to which it binds. In one embodiment,non-conservative substitutions in the sequences of the DDpp do notabrogate the binding of the DDpp containing the substitution to thetarget of interest to which it binds.

“Non-natural amino acids,” “amino acid analogs” and “non-standard aminoacid residues” are used interchangeably herein. Non-natural amino acidsthat can be substituted in a DDpp as provided herein are known in theart. In one embodiment the non-natural amino acid is 4-hydroxyprolinewhich can be substituted for proline; 5-hydroxylysine which can besubstituted for lysine; 3-methylhistidine which can be substituted forhistidine; homoserine which can be substituted for serine; and ornithinewhich can be substituted for lysine. Additional examples of non-naturalamino acids that can be substituted in a DDpp disclosed herein include,but are not limited to molecules such as: D-isomers of the common aminoacids, 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, alpha-amino isobutyric acid,A-aminobutyric acid, Abu, 2-amino butyric acid, gamma-Abu, epsilon-Ahx,6-amino hexanoic acid, Aib, 2-amino isobutyric acid, 3-amino propionicacid, ornithine, norleucine, norvaline, hydroxyproline, sarcosine,citrulline, homocitrulline, cysteic acid, t-butylglycine,t-butylalanine, phenylglycine, cyclohexylalanine, beta-alanine,lanthionine, dehydroalanine, γ-aminobutyric acid, selenocysteine andpyrrolysine fluoro-amino acids, designer amino acids such as beta-methylamino acids, C alpha-methyl amino acids, and N alpha-methyl amino acids,or combinations of non-natural amino acids. Additional non-natural aminoacids can include for example, 4-amino butyric acid,4-amino-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentanoic acid,4-amino-3-hydroxy-6-methylheptanoic acid, 2-thienyl alanine, and/orD-isomers of amino acids. As discussed herein, in some embodiments,non-natural amino acids or amino acid analogs can include deletion ofone or more amino acids from a sequence.

The terms “polynucleotide” and “nucleic acid,” used interchangeablyherein, refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, eitherribonucleotides or deoxyribonucleotides. These terms include, but arenot limited to, DNA, RNA, cDNA (complementary DNA), mRNA (messengerRNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA), shRNA (small hairpin RNA), snRNA (smallnuclear RNA), snoRNA (short nucleolar RNA), miRNA (microRNA), genomicDNA, synthetic DNA, synthetic RNA, and/or tRNA.

The term “naked DNA” as used herein refers to DNA (e.g., histone freeDNA) encoding a protein such as a DDpp (e.g., a CAR) disclosed herein isa DNA that is cloned in a suitable expression vector in properorientation for expression (e.g., a plasmid). Viral vectors which can beused to carry and/or express DNA encoding the DDpp include but are notlimited to SIN lentiviral vectors, retroviral vectors, foamy virusvectors, adenovirus vectors, adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors,hybrid vectors and/or plasmid transposons (for example sleeping beautytransposon system) or integrase based vector systems. Other vectors thatcan be used in connection with making and using DDpp are describedherein or otherwise known in the art.

The terms “vector”, “cloning vector” and “expression vector” as usedherein refer to the vehicle by which a nucleic acid sequence (e.g., adisclosed DDpp coding sequence) can be maintained or amplified in a hostcell (e.g., cloning vector) or introduced into a host cell, so as totransform the host and promote expression (e.g., transcription andtranslation) of the introduced sequence. Vectors include plasmids,phages, viruses, etc.

A “host cell” includes an individual cell or cell culture which can beor has been a recipient of nucleic acids encoding a disclosed DDpp. Hostcells includes but are not limited to viral particles, phagemids,bacteria, yeast plant, animal, and mammalian cells. Host cells includeprogeny of a single host cell, and the progeny may not necessarily becompletely identical (in morphology or in total DNA complement) to theoriginal parent cell due to natural, accidental, or deliberate mutationand/or change. A host cell includes cells transfected or infected invivo, in vitro, or ex vivo with nucleic acids encoding a disclosed DDpp.In some examples, the host cell is capable of expressing and displayinga disclosed DDpp on its surface, such as for example, in phage displayor a CAR T cell. “Expression” includes transcription and/or translation.

Reagentsand techniques for attaching polypeptides to solid supports (e.g.,matrices, resins, plastic, etc.) are well known in the art. Suitablesolid supports include, but are not limited to, a chromatographic resinor matrix (e.g., SEPHAROSE-4 FF agarose beads), the wall or floor of awell in a plastic microtiter dish, a silica based biochip,polyacrylamide, agarose, silica, nitrocellulose, paper, plastic, nylon,metal, and combinations thereof. DDpp and other compositions may beattached on a support material by a non-covalent association or bycovalent bonding, using reagents and techniques known in the art. In oneembodiment, the DDpp is coupled to a chromatography material using alinker.

As used herein, the terms “pharmaceutically acceptable,” or“physiologically tolerable” and grammatical variations thereof, as theyrefer to compositions, carriers, diluents and reagents, are usedinterchangeably and represent that the materials are capable ofadministration to or upon a human without the production oftherapeutically prohibitive undesirable physiological effects such asnausea, dizziness, gastric upset and the like.

“Modulate,” means adjustment or regulation of amplitude, frequency,degree, or activity. In another related aspect, such modulation may bepositively modulated (e.g., an increase in frequency, degree, oractivity) or negatively modulated (e.g., a decrease in frequency,degree, or activity). In some embodiments, modulation in a positive ornegative direction is referenced as compared to the cell, tissue, ororgan function prior to administration of a therapeutic. In additionalembodiments, modulation in a positive or negative direction isreferenced with respect to a normal, healthy cell, tissue or organ.

An “effective amount” of a DDpp such as a DDpp fusion protein asprovided herein, is an amount sufficient to carry out a specificallystated purpose such as to bring about an observable change in the levelof one or more biological activities related to the target to which theDDpp (e.g., a DDpp fusion protein) binds. In certain embodiments, thechange increases the level of target activity. In other embodiments, thechange decreases the level of target activity. An “effective amount” canbe determined empirically and in a routine manner, in relation to thestated purpose. The term “therapeutically effective amount” refers to anamount of a DDpp such as a DDpp fusion protein, or other therapeuticagent effective to “treat” (e.g., reduce symptoms of) a disease ordisorder in a subject (mammal). The term “therapeutically effectiveamount” also refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periodsof time necessary, to achieve a desired prophylactic result.

“Patient,” “subject,” “animal” and “mammal” are used interchangeably andrefer to mammals such as human patients and non-human primates, as wellas experimental animals such as rabbits, rats, and mice, and otheranimals. Animals include all vertebrates, e.g., mammals and non-mammals,such as chickens, amphibians, and reptiles. “Mammal” as used hereinrefers to any member of the class Mammalia, including, withoutlimitation, humans and nonhuman primates such as chimpanzees and otherapes and monkey species; farm animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, goatsand horses; domestic mammals such as dogs and cats; laboratory animalsincluding rodents such as mice, rats and guinea pigs, and the like. In aparticular embodiment, the patient is a human. The term does not denotea particular age or sex. Thus, adult and newborn subjects, as well asembryos and fetuses, whether male or female, are intended to be includedwithin the scope of this term.

The terms “treat,” “treatment,” and “treating,” as used herein refer toboth therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures,wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen or delay) thesymptoms, complications, or biochemical indicia of a disease, condition,or disorder, alleviating the symptoms or arresting or inhibiting furtherdevelopment of the disease, condition, or disorder. Treatment can beprophylactic (to prevent or delay the onset of the disease, or toprevent the manifestation of clinical or subclinical symptoms thereof)or therapeutic suppression or alleviation of symptoms after themanifestation of the disease, condition, or disorder targeted pathologiccondition, prevent the pathologic condition, pursue or obtain beneficialresults, or lower the chances of the individual developing the conditioneven if the treatment is ultimately unsuccessful. Those in need oftreatment include those already with the condition as well as thoseprone to have the condition or those in whom the condition is to beprevented. Treatment can be with a DDpp fusion protein alone or incombination with an additional therapeutic agent.

“Cancer,” “tumor,” or “malignancy” are used as synonymous terms andrefer to any of a number of diseases that are characterized byuncontrolled, abnormal proliferation of cells, the ability of affectedcells to spread locally or through the bloodstream and lymphatic systemto other parts of the body (metastasize) as well as any of a number ofcharacteristic structural and/or molecular features. “Tumor,” as usedherein refers to all neoplastic cell growth and proliferation, whethermalignant or benign, and all pre-cancerous and cancerous cells andtissues. A “cancerous tumor,” or “malignant cell” is understood as acell having specific structural properties, lacking differentiation andbeing capable of invasion and metastasis. Cancers that can be treatedusing DDpp fusion proteins provided herein include hematological tumors,such as leukemias and lymphomas, or solid tumors. In particularembodiments, the cancer to be treated is a leukemia or a lymphoma. Typesof cancers to be treated with the DBDpp include, but are not limited to,carcinoma, blastoma, and sarcoma, and certain leukemia or lymphoidmalignancies, benign and malignant tumors, and malignancies e.g.,sarcomas, carcinomas, and melanomas. Types of cancer and tumors that maybe treated using DDpp-include without limitation, breast, lung, brain,bone, liver, kidney, colon, head and neck, ovarian, hematopoietic (e.g.,leukemia), and prostate cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer andtumors that may be treated using DDpp-include breast and ovarian cancer.Other types of cancer and tumors that may be treated usingDDpp-containing antibodies are described herein or otherwise known inthe art.

The terms tumor antigen or cancer antigen are used interchangeablyherein. Tumor and cancer antigens may be tumor-specific antigen (TSA),cancer-specific antigens (CSA) tumor-associated antigen (TAA) orcancer-associated antigens (CAA). A TSA is an antigen that is unique totumor cells and does not occur on other cells in the body. A TAA is anantigen that is found on both tumor and some normal cells. Because ofthe dynamic nature of tumors, in some instances, tumor cells may expressunique antigens at certain stages, and at others also express antigensthat are also expressed on non-tumor cells. Thus, inclusion of a certainmarker as a TAA does not preclude it being considered a TSA.

The term “target cell” as used herein refers to a cell or cells whichare involved in a disease and can be targeted by DDpp containingcompositions. Other target cells include any cell in a subject (e.g., ahuman or animal) that can be targeted by disclosed DDpp. The target cellcan be a cell expressing or overexpressing a target specifically boundby a DDpp fusion protein.

In particular embodiments, the identity between a variant DD (query)sequence and a reference DD sequence, also referred to as a globalsequence alignment, is determined using the FASTDB computer programbased on the algorithm of Brutlag et al. Comp. App. Biosci. 6: 237-245(1990). Preferred parameters used in a FASTDB amino acid alignment are:Matrix=PAM 0, k-tuple=2, Mismatch Penalty=1, Joining Penalty=20,Randomization Group Length=0, Cutoff Score=1, Window Size=sequencelength, Gap Penalty=5, Gap Size Penalty=0.05, Window Size=500 or thelength of the subject amino acid sequence, whichever is shorter.According to this embodiment, if the reference DD sequence is shorterthan the variant DD query sequence due to N- or C-terminal deletions,not because of internal deletions, a manual correction is made to theresults to take into consideration the fact that the FASTDB program doesnot account for N- and C-terminal truncations of the reference DDsequence when calculating global percent identity. For referencesequences truncated at the N- and C-termini, relative to the querysequence, the percent identity is corrected by calculating the number ofresidues of the query sequence that are N- and C-terminal of thereference sequence, which are not matched/aligned with a correspondingsubject residue, as a percent of the total bases of the query sequence.A determination of whether a residue is matched/aligned is determined byresults of the FASTDB sequence alignment. This percentage is thensubtracted from the percent identity, calculated by the above FASTDBprogram using the specified parameters, to arrive at a final percentidentity score. This final percent identity score is what is used forthe purposes of this embodiment.

DDpp Fusion Proteins

A “fusion protein,” “chimeric polypeptide,” “chimeric protein,”“chimeric antigen,” and a DDpp that comprises/contains a heterologouspolypeptide, is a polypeptide comprised of at least two polypeptides andoptionally a linker to operatively link the two polypeptides into onecontinuous polypeptide produced, e.g., by recombinant processes. The twopolypeptides may be operably attached directly or indirectly.

A “DDpp fusion protein” provided herein comprises at least one DDppdisclosed herein that specifically binds a target of interest (e.g.,BCMA (SEQ ID NO: 7), CD123 (SEQ ID NO: 8), CS1 (SEQ ID NO: 965), HER2(SEQ ID NO: 967), AFP (SEQ ID NO: 9), AFP p26 (SEQ ID NO: 10), or afragment thereof). In one embodiment, the DDpp fusion protein containsone DDpp.

In some embodiments, the DDpp fusion protein is a soluble proteincomprising one or more target-binding DDpp and a p26 protein (e.g.,having the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10, 968, 969, 970, 971, 972, 973, or974). Such fusion proteins containing p26 sequences have been discoveredherein to have surprisingly long serum half-life. In some embodiments,the soluble DDpp fusion protein has a plasma half-life in vivo of atleast 1 hour, at least 2 hours, at least 4 hours, at least 8 hours, atleast 16 hours, at least 32 hours, at least 64 hours, or more. In someembodiments, the soluble fusion protein has an in vivo plasma half-lifeof at least 1 hour, at least 2 hours, at least 4 hours, at least 8hours, at least 16 hours, at least 32 hours, at least 64 hours, or morehours 65 hours, or 1-10 hours, 2-10 hours, 4-10 hours, 6-10 hours, or6-9 hours in a mouse. In some embodiments, the soluble DDpp fusionprotein has an in vivo plasma half-life of at least 1 hour, at least 2hours, at least 4 hours, at least 8 hours, at least 16 hours, at least32 hours, at least 64 hours, or more hours 65 hours, or 1-10 hours, 2-10hours, 4-10 hours, 6-10 hours, or 6-9 hours, in a human.

In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a method for modifying thein vivo half-life (e.g., in a mouse or human) of a soluble fusionprotein comprising a p26 protein (e.g., having the sequence of SEQ IDNO: 10, 968, 969, 970, 971, 972, 973, or 974). In some embodiments, thesoluble p26 fusion protein comprises one or more target-binding DDpp. Insome embodiments, the half-life of the p26 soluble fusion protein isincreased or decreased by substituting or deleting one or more aminoacid residues normally found in the human p26 protein, or by insertingone or more amino acid residues not normally found in the human p26protein. In another embodiment, the p26 sequence of the soluble fusionprotein is modified through 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 10, or 1-20, 1-10, 3-10, or3-5, amino acid substitutions (conservative and/or nonconservativesubstitutions), deletions, and/or insertions so as to increase ordecrease the in vivo half-life of the soluble fusion protein. In aparticular embodiment, the amino acid residue corresponding to theglutamine (Gln, Q) at position 217 of SEQ ID NO: 10 of p26 issubstituted with another amino acid residues. In a further embodimentthe substitution is Gln217Pro. In another embodiment, the p26 sequenceof the soluble fusion protein is modified through deletion of 1-150,1-100, 1-50, 1-25 or 1-10 amino acid residues so as to increase ordecrease the in vivo half-life of the soluble fusion protein. Inadditional embodiments, the p26 sequence of the soluble fusion proteinis modified through 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 10 or 1-20, 1-10, 3-10, or 3-5, aminoacid substitutions (conservative and/or nonconservative substitutions),deletions, and/or insertions so as to increase or decrease theinteraction of the soluble fusion protein with FcRn.

Multimeric DDpp Fusion Proteins

In one embodiment, the DDpp fusion protein comprises more than one DDpp,wherein two or more DDpp have the same or different specificities. Inadditional embodiments, the DDpp fusion protein comprises a tandemrepeat of the same or different DD that allow a DDpp fusion protein tobind multiple targets and/or repeating epitopes or different epitopes onthe same target. In some embodiments, the DDpp fusion protein comprisesat least 2, 3, 4, or 5, or more than 5, DDpp. In some embodiments, theDDpp fusion protein contains 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, or more than 5, differentDDpp. In some embodiments, the DDpp fusion protein contains at least 2,3, 4, or 5, or more than 5, different DDpp. Thus, a DDpp fusion proteincan be a monomeric DDpp (i.e., containing one DDpp) or multimeric DDpp(i.e., containing more than one DDpp in tandem optionally operablyconnected by a linker). In some embodiments, the use of multimeric DDppprovides enhanced (e.g., synergistic) target binding. In additionalembodiments, multimeric DDpp allows targeting of more than one targetusing a single DDpp construct (e.g., bi-, tri-specific, etc.). Thelinkage of two or more identical DDpp results in a multivalent moleculethat provides distinct advantages (e.g., increased binding avidity,target clustering and receptor activation) over monovalent compositions.The linkage of two or more different DDpp results in a multivalent andmulti-specific molecule that has the potential to bind more than onetarget antigen, either independently or simultaneously.

The multimeric DDpp fusion protein can be a DDpp homo-multimeric (i.e.,containing more than one of the same DDpp in tandem optionally connectedby linker(s) (e.g., homodimers, homotrimers, homotetramers etc.) or DDpphetero-multimeric (i.e., containing two or more DDpp in which there areat least two different DDpp protein. The number of monomeric DDppincluded within a multimeric composition may vary, depending on theembodiment, and may be defined, at least in part, by the expressionsystem in which the DDpp is produced. In some embodiments, however, thefusion proteins may comprises multimers of about 5 to about 10 DDppsubunits, about 10 to about 15 subunits, about 15 to about 20 subunits,about 20 to about 25 subunits, or about 25 to about 30 subunits(including numbers in between those listed as well as endpoints).Moreover, multiple tandem components of a DDpp fusion protein cancontain the same or different DDpp. In some DDpp fusions, the DDpp arepresent as a monomer, or in homomultimers or heteromers such as,homodimers or heterodimers, homotrimers or heterotrimers, homotetramersor heterotetramers.

A DDpp fusion protein can be “monospecific” or “multi-specific.” A DDppfusion protein that is “multi-specific” (e.g., bispecific, trispecificor of greater multi-specificity) recognizes and binds to two or moredifferent epitopes present on one or more different molecules (e.g.,proteins, solid support structures, etc.).

In some embodiments, two or more DDs are fused together as a multivalentDDpp. The DD of the multivalent DDpp may be the same or different. Thus,the disclosure provides a DDpp homo-dimer (i.e., a DDpp comprising twoidentical DD), a DDpp homo-multimer (i.e., a DDpp comprising three ormore identical DD), a DDpp hetero-dimer (i.e., a DDpp comprising twodifferent DD), and DDpp hetero-multimer (i.e., a DDpp comprising threeor more DD, wherein at least two of the DD are different) comprising anyof the DD described herein, optionally attached by one or more linkers.

In some embodiments, two or more DDs are linked by a multimerizationdomain or attached via chemical linkage, to generate a multivalent DDcomplex. The DD of the multivalent DD complex may be the same ordifferent. Thus, the disclosure provides a DD homo-dimer complex (i.e.,a DD complex comprising two identical DD), a DD homo-multimer complex(i.e., a DD complex comprising three or more identical DD), a DDhetero-dimer complex (i.e., a DD complex comprising two different DD),and DD hetero-multimer complex (i.e., a DD complex comprising three ormore DD, wherein at least two of the DD are different) comprising any ofthe DD described herein, optionally attached by one or more linkers.

In one embodiment, a multi-specific DDpp fusion protein contains atleast two DDpp that bind to at least two different epitopes on a singletarget of interest (e.g., BCMA, CD123, CS1, HER2, AFP, or AFP p26). In afurther embodiment, the DDpp fusion is bispecific and specifically bindsto two different targets expressed on the surface of two different celltypes. In one embodiment the bispecific DDpp fusion protein specificallybinds to a target on a cancer cell and a target on an immune effectorcell. In one embodiment the bispecific DDpp fusion protein specificallybinds a target expressed on a cancer cell (e.g., BCMA, CS1, CD123, andCD19) and a target expressed on the surface of a T lymphocyte (e.g.,CD3). In one embodiment the bispecific DDpp fusion protein specificallybinds BCMA and CS1.

In additional embodiments, a multi-specific DDpp fusion proteincomprises at least one DDpp that specifically binds one epitope on atarget of interest and at least one other domain or sequence conferringfunction (e.g., an antibody fragment or domain such as an scFv) thatspecifically binds to a different epitope on the same target ofinterest. In one embodiment, a multi-specific DDpp fusion proteincomprises at least one DDpp that specifically binds to an epitope on atarget of interest and at least one domain or sequence conferringfunction e.g., an antibody fragment or domain (e.g., scFv), thatspecifically binds to an epitope on a different target of interest. Inone embodiment, the multi-specific DDpp fusion protein comprises atleast one DDpp that specifically binds to an epitope on a target ofinterest and at least one domain or sequence that specifically binds toan epitope on a different target on the same cell. In other embodiments,a DDpp fusion protein comprises at least one DDpp and at least one otherDDpp or domain sequence conferring function, e.g., an antibody fragmentor domain that specifically binds to a solid support.

In a further embodiment, the multimeric DDpp fusion comprising 2 or moreDDpp are in turn fused with other heterologous proteins (or theirsubdomains) and in so doing, impart the multivalent and multi-specificproperties to the fusion partner. Examples of fusion partners of a DDppinclude but are not limited to, antibodies, antibody subdomains (e.g.,scFv or Fc domains), serum albumin, serum albumin subdomains, cellsurface receptors, an alpha chain of a T cell receptor (TCR), a betachain of a T cell receptor, cell surface receptor subdomains, peptides,peptide tags (e.g., FLAG or myc), fibronectin type III repeats,z-domains, elastin-like polypeptides. The number and location of DDppand their respective positions within the fusion protein can vary. Forexample, DDpp(s) can be located at one or all termini of a fusionpartner and/or interspersed within heterologous subunits within the DDppfusion partner.

In additional embodiments, a DDpp fusion protein comprises a DDpp and apolypeptide sequence containing an additional domain. In someembodiments, the DDpp fusion protein comprises a DDpp and a memberselected from: an antibody, an antibody fragment (e.g., an antigenbinding domain or portion thereof (e.g., an scFv), an effector domain orportion thereof, an FcRn binding domain or portion thereof, and an Fc ora portion thereof), a serum protein (e.g., albumin or a portionthereof), a cytokine, a growth factor, a hormone, an imaging agent, alabeling agent, and a peptide tag. In some embodiments, the DDpp fusionprotein comprises an Fc domain of an immunoglobulin (e.g., a human Fcdomain) or a portion thereof. In further embodiments, the Fc domain is avariant human Fc domain.

In some embodiments, the DDpp is fused to a heterologous polypeptide. Insome embodiments, the heterologous polypeptide comprises a full-lengthantibody or an antibody fragment. In some embodiments, the DD is fusedto: the amino terminus of a full-length antibody heavy chain; the aminoterminus of a full-length antibody light chain; the carboxyl terminus ofa full-length antibody heavy chain; or the carboxyl terminus of afull-length antibody light chain. In other embodiments, the DD is fusedto an antibody fragment which is an Fc. In additional embodiments, theheterologous polypeptide comprises a member selected from the groupconsisting of: (i) a transmembrane domain; (ii) a membrane associatingdomain; (iii) human serum albumin or a fragment thereof; (iv) AFP or afragment thereof; (v) AFP p26 or a fragment thereof; (vi) theextracellular domain of a receptor or a fragment thereof; and (vii) theextracellular domain of an intracellular receptor (e.g., a nuclearprotein) or a fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the DDpp contains aheterologous polypeptide comprising the extracellular domain, or afragment of an extracellular domain, of a cell surface receptor.

In some embodiments, the DDpp of a DDpp fusion protein is incorporatedinto a larger, multi-domain molecular complex (e.g., a monomeric ormultimeric DDpp fusion protein) and in so doing, imparts the functionalattributes of the incorporated DDpp to the resultant fusion protein. Insome embodiments, the DDpp fusion protein comprises a DDpp and apolypeptide sequence from an antibody, an antibody fragment, a serumprotein (e.g., human serum albumin) or serum protein fragment, or a cellsurface receptor, an alpha chain of a T cell receptor (TCR), a betachain of a T cell receptor, cytokine, growth factor, hormone, or enzyme,or fragment thereof. Incorporation of DD into multidomain and/ormultifunctional complexes can routinely be achieved by way ofrecombinant fusion to another polypeptide, binding to another chemicalmoiety, and covalent chemical linkage to another polypeptide (or otherdesirable chemical compound) using techniques known in the art. DDppfusion proteins can additionally contain other optional components suchas linkers and other components described herein.

DDpp Fusion Proteins as CARs

In addition to the incorporation of DD into soluble multi-domainproteins, the present invention provides a means by which to createcell-associated DDpp, comprised of at least one DDpp designed to impartbinding specificity a membrane bound fusion protein. DDpp-receptors maybe expressed by any cell type.

In one embodiment, the DDpp-receptor fusion protein comprises a chimericantigen receptor (CAR), or DDpp-CAR, that comprises: an extracellulartargeting domain and a transmembrane domain. In another embodiment, theDDpp-CAR is composed of an extracellular targeting domain, atransmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain wherein the cytoplasmicdomain comprises the signaling domain. In a further embodiment theDDpp-CAR extracellular domain comprises one or more DDpp, in which eachDDpp constitutes a specific binding domain with the same or differentspecificities. In some embodiments, the target-specific domain isdirected to one (or more) of the cancer or tumor antigens disclosedherein, such as BCMA, CD123, CS1, HER2, AFP, and AFP p26, asnon-limiting examples. In one embodiment, the intracellular domain(e.g., the cytoplasmic domain) of the DDpp-CAR comprises theintracellular domain of CD3 zeta chain. In another embodiment theintracellular signaling domain of the DDpp is comprised of part of theintracellular domain of CD3 zeta chain. In a further embodiment, theintracellular domain of the DDpp-CAR comprises the intracellular domainof CD3 zeta chain and a costimulatory signaling region. Thecostimulatory signaling region refers to a portion of the DDpp-CARcomprising all or part of the intracellular domain of a costimulatorymolecule. Costimulatory molecules are cell surface molecules other thanantigens receptors or their ligands that are required for an efficientresponse of lymphocytes to antigen. Costimulatory molecules and portionsof these molecules that are able to confer costimulatory properties toan AR are known in the art and can routinely be incorporated into theDDpp-CAR. In addition, truncations or mutation to these intracellularsignaling and costimulatory domains may be incorporated to furtherenhance or reduce receptor signaling. In preferred embodiments, a T cellis genetically modified to stably express a DDpp-CAR. In suchembodiments, the cytoplasmic domain of the DDpp-CAR can be designed tocomprise the CD28 and/or 41BB signaling domain by itself or be combinedwith any other desired cytoplasmic domain(s) useful in the context ofthe disclosed embodiments. In one embodiment, the cytoplasmic domain ofthe DDpp-CAR can be designed to further comprise the signaling domain ofCD3-zeta. In one embodiment, the DDpp-CAR comprises an extracellulartargeting domain, an extracellular protein linker with a transmembranedomain that passes through the cellular membrane (such as found in Tcells or NK cells), and a cytoplasmic domain, optionally comprisingmultiple signaling modules. In some embodiments, the DDpp-CAR may alsocomprise an epitope tag. In some embodiments, the cytoplasmic domain ofthe DDpp-CAR can include but is not limited to CD3-zeta, 41BB and CD28signaling modules and combinations thereof.

In additional embodiments, the disclosure provides a chimeric antigenreceptor (CAR), wherein the CAR includes a targeting domain comprising aDDpp disclosed herein, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellularsignaling domain. In some embodiments, the intracellular signalingdomain is selected from the group consisting of a human CD3 zeta domain,41BB domain, a CD28 domain and/or any combination thereof. Depending onthe embodiment, the costimulatory signaling region can comprise, forexample, the intracellular domain of a costimulatory molecule selectedfrom the group consisting of CD27, CD28, 41BB, OX40, CD30, CD40, PD1,lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA 1), CD2, CD7, LIGHT,NKG2C, B7H3, a ligand that specifically binds with CD83, and anycombination thereof. In some embodiments, the targeting domain of theCAR comprises a plurality of binding domains (e.g., DDs, or one or moreDD and a scFv) that includes an additional target-binding polypeptide.Nucleic acids encoding CARs that include the target-binding polypeptidesas part (or all) of the targeting region are also provided.

The disclosure also provides cells comprising a nucleic acid sequenceencoding a CAR, wherein the CAR comprises an antigen binding domain madeup of, at least in part, a disclosed DDpp that binds a target ofinterest (e.g., BCMA, CD123, CS1, HER2, AFP, and AFP p26), atransmembrane domain, and a signaling domain. In some embodiments, theCAR binds specifically to a tumor antigen (and thus functions to deliverthe cell expressing the CAR to the tumor. In some embodiments, the tumorantigen is associated with a hematologic malignancy. In someembodiments, the tumor antigen is BCMA. In some embodiments, the tumorantigen is CD123. In some embodiments, the tumor antigen is CS1. Inadditional embodiments, tumor antigen is associated with a solid tumor.In some embodiments, the tumor antigen is HER2. In some embodiments,both solid and hematologic tumors are targeted. In some embodiments, thecell expressing the CAR is a T cell, a natural killer (NK) cell or otherimmune cell type. In some embodiments, the cell expressing the CAR(whether T cell, NK cell or other cell type) exhibits an anti-tumorimmunity when the polypeptide binds to its corresponding tumor antigen.

Extracellular Domain

Depending on the desired antigen to be targeted, the DDpp-CAR can beengineered to include an antigen binding DDpp that is specific to thedesired antigen target. For example, if BCMA is the desired antigen thatis to be targeted, one or more BCMA-binding DDpp can be incorporatedinto the target specific binding domain of the DDpp-CAR. Moreover, theDDpp-CAR can include more than one DDpp, imparting multispecificity ormultivalency to the DDpp-CAR. In some embodiments, the DDpp-CARcomprises a BCMA-binding DDpp. In some embodiments, the DDpp-CARcomprises a CS1-binding DDpp. In some embodiments, the DDpp-CARcomprises a BCMA-binding DDpp and a CS1-binding DDpp.

The choice of DDpp incorporated into the extracellular domain of theDDpp receptor (e.g., DDpp-CAR) depends upon the identity of the cell orcells to be targeted. For example, a DDpp-CAR may specifically bind tocell surface proteins such as a receptor on the same cell or anothercell. In other embodiments, DDpp-CAR specifically binds to a solublemolecule, such as an immunoglobulin. In other embodiments, the targetsof interest bound by the DDpp-CAR include those associated with viral,bacterial and parasitic infections, diseases and disorders of the immunesystem (e.g., autoimmune disease).

In other embodiments, the DDpp-CAR may be chosen to recognize a ligandthat acts as a cell surface marker on target cells associated with acancer. A DDpp-CAR can in some embodiments, target and bind a tumorantigen (e.g., a TAA or other tumor antigen described herein orotherwise known in the art. Accordingly, provided herein are methods forcreating DDpp-CAR, their use in creating chimeric cells such as, human Tcells and natural killer cells and the use of these chimeric T cells inadoptive immunotherapy.

In the context provided herein, “tumor antigen” refers to antigens thatare common to specific hyperproliferative disorders such as cancer.Tumor antigens that can be specifically bound by a DDpp in a DDpp-CARare disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a DDpp in a DDpp-CARspecifically binds a tumor-specific antigen (TSA) or a tumor-associatedantigen (TAA). A TSA is unique to tumor cells and does not occur onother cells in the body. A TAA associated antigen is not unique to atumor cell and instead is also expressed on a normal cell underconditions that fail to induce a state of immunologic tolerance to theantigen. The expression of the antigen on the tumor may occur underconditions that enable the immune system to respond to the antigen. TAAsmay be antigens that are expressed on normal cells during fetaldevelopment when the immune system is immature and unable to respond orthey may be antigens that are normally present at extremely low levelson normal cells but which are expressed at much higher levels on tumorcells.

In some embodiments, a DDpp in the antigen binding moiety portion of aDDpp-CAR specifically binds BCMA, CS1, HER2, or CD123.

Transmembrane Domain

“Transmembrane domain” (TMD) as used herein refers to the region of acell surface expressed DDpp fusion protein such as a DDpp-CAR, whichcrosses the plasma membrane. In some embodiments, the transmembranedomain of the DDpp-CAR is the transmembrane region of a transmembraneprotein (for example Type I transmembrane proteins), an artificialhydrophobic sequence or a combination thereof. Other transmembranedomains will be apparent to those of skill in the art and may be used inconnection with alternate embodiments provided herein.

The DDpp receptor (e.g., DDpp-CAR) can be designed to contain atransmembrane domain that is fused to the extracellular domain of theDDpp receptor. As described above, the fusion of the extracellular andtransmembrane domains can be accomplished with or without a linker. Inone embodiment, the transmembrane domain that is naturally associatedwith one of the domains in the DDpp-CAR is used. In a specificembodiment, the transmembrane domain in the DDpp-CAR is the CD8transmembrane domain. In some instances, the transmembrane domain of theDDpp-CAR comprises the CD8 hinge domain. In some embodiments, thetransmembrane domain is be selected or modified by amino acidsubstitution to promote or inhibit association with other surfacemembrane proteins.

The transmembrane domain can be derived either from a natural or from asynthetic source. Where the source is natural, the domain can be derivedfrom any membrane-bound or transmembrane protein. Transmembrane regionsof particular use for the purposes herein may be derived from (i.e.,comprise at least the transmembrane region(s) of) a member selected fromthe group: the alpha, beta or zeta chain of the T cell receptor; CD28,CD3 epsilon, CD45, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD9, CD16, CD22, CD33, CD37, CD64,CD80, CD86, CD134, CD137, and CD154. Alternatively the transmembranedomain can be synthetic, in which case the DDpp-CAR transmembrane domainwill comprise predominantly hydrophobic residues such as leucine andvaline. In further embodiments, the transmembrane domain comprises thetriplet of phenylalanine, tryptophan and valine at each end of asynthetic transmembrane domain.

“Extracellular spacer domain” (ESD) as used herein refers to thehydrophilic region which is between the antigen-specific targetingregion and the transmembrane domain. In some embodiments, the DDpp-CARcomprise an extracellular spacer domain. In other embodiments, theDDpp-CAR does not comprise an extracellular spacer domain. Theextracellular spacer domains include but are not limited to Fc fragmentsof antibodies or fragments or derivatives thereof, hinge regions ofantibodies or fragments or derivatives thereof, CH2 regions ofantibodies, CH3 regions of antibodies, artificial spacer sequences orcombinations thereof. Additional examples of extracellular spacerdomains include but are not limited to CD8a hinge, and artificialspacers made of polypeptides which may be as small as, for example, Gly3or CHI and CH3 domains of IgGs (such as human IgG4). In someembodiments, the extracellular spacer domain is any one or more of (i) ahinge, CH2 and CH3 regions of IgG4, (ii) a hinge region of IgG4, (iii) ahinge and CH2 of IgG4, (iv) a hinge region of CD8a, (v) a hinge, CH2 andCH3 regions of IgG1, (vi) a hinge region of IgG1 or (vi) a hinge and CH2region of IgG1. Other extracellular spacer domains will be apparent tothose of skill in the art and may be used in connection with alternateembodiments, provided herein.

In some embodiments, a short oligo- or polypeptide linker, from about 1to 100 amino acids in length, is used to link together any of thedomains of a DDpp-CAR. Linkers can be composed of flexible residues likeglycine and serine (or any other amino acid) so that the adjacentprotein domains are free to move relative to one another. The aminoacids sequence composition of the linker may be selected to minimizepotential immunogenicity of the DDpp-CAR or DDpp fusion protein. Longerlinkers can be used when it is desirable to ensure that two adjacentdomains do not sterically interfere with one another. In someembodiments, preferably between 2 and 10 amino acids in length forms thelinkage between the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic signalingdomain of the DDpp-CAR. In further embodiments, the linker is between 10and 15 amino acids in length, or between 15 and 20, or between 20 and30, or between 30 and 60, or between 60 and 100 amino acids in length(or any range in between those listed). In further embodiments, thelinker is a glycine-serine doublet sequence. Further embodiments employa fragment of the hinge region derived from the human T cell surfaceglycoprotein CD8 alpha-chain (for example ranging from amino acidpositions 138-182 CD8 alpha chain; Swiss-Prot accession number P01732).Further embodiments employ a fragment of the CD8 hinge region that hasbeen further modified, through amino acid substitution, to improveexpression function or immunogenicity. Further embodiments employ afragment of the extracellular region derived from the human CD28 Furtherembodiments employ a fragment of the CD28 extracellular region that hasbeen further modified, through amino acid substitution, to improveexpression function or immunogenicity.

Intracellular Domain

“Intracellular signaling domain” (ISD) or “cytoplasmic domain” as usedherein refer to the portion of the DDpp-CAR which transduces theeffector function signal and directs the cell to perform its specializedfunction. The cytoplasmic domain (i.e., intracellular signaling domain)of a DDpp-CAR is responsible for activation of at least one of thenormal effector functions of an immune cell engineered to express aDDpp-CAR. The term “effector function” refers to a specialized functionof a cell. The effector function of a T cell, for example, includescytolytic activity and helper activity including the secretion ofcytokines. Thus the term “intracellular signaling domain” refers to theportion of a DDpp-CAR protein which transduces the effector functionsignal and directs the cell to perform a specialized function. Whiletypically the entire intracellular signaling domain corresponding to anaturally occurring receptor can be employed, in many cases it is notnecessary to use the entire chain. To the extent that a truncatedportion of the intracellular signaling domain is used, such truncatedportion can be used in place of the intact chain as long as ittransduces the effector function signal. The term intracellularsignaling domain is thus meant to include any truncated portion of theintracellular signaling domain sufficient to transduce the effectorfunction signal. In one embodiment, an intracellular signaling domain inthe DDpp-CAR includes the cytoplasmic sequences of the T cell receptor(TCR) and also the sequence of co-receptors that act in concert toinitiate signal transduction following antigen receptor engagement, orany derivative or variant of these sequences that has functionalcapability. Examples of domains that transduce an effector functionsignal include but are not limited to the ζ chain of the T cell receptorcomplex or any of its homologs (e.g., η chain, FcsR1y and β chains, MB 1(Iga) chain, B29 (Ig) chain, etc.), human CD3 zeta chain, CD3polypeptides (Δ, δ and ε), syk family tyrosine kinases (Syk, ZAP 70,etc.), src family tyrosine kinases (Lck, Fyn, Lyn, etc.) and othermolecules involved in T cell transduction, such as CD2, CD5 and CD28.

It is known that signals generated through the TCR alone areinsufficient for full activation of the T cell and that a secondary orco-stimulatory signal is also required. Thus, T cell activation can besaid to be mediated by two distinct classes of cytoplasmic signalingsequence: those that initiate antigen-dependent primary activationthrough the TCR (primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences) and those thatact in an antigen-independent manner to provide a secondary orco-stimulatory signal (secondary cytoplasmic signaling sequences).

Primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences regulate primary activation ofthe TCR complex either in a stimulatory way, or in an inhibitory way.Primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences that act in a stimulatory mannermay contain signaling motifs which are known as immunoreceptortyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs).

Examples of ITAM containing primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences thatare of particular use in the provided embodiments include those derivedfrom TCR zeta, FcR gamma, FcR beta, CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD3 epsilon,CD22, CD79a, CD79b, and CD66d. It is particularly preferred thatcytoplasmic signaling molecule in the CAR comprises a cytoplasmicsignaling sequence derived from CD3 zeta.

“Co-stimulatory domain” (CSD) as used herein refers to the portion of aCAR or DDpp-CAR which enhances the proliferation, survival and/ordevelopment of memory cells. The DDpp-CAR may comprise one or moreco-stimulatory domains. Each co-stimulatory domain comprises thecostimulatory domain of any one or more of, for example, a member of theTNFR superfamily, selected from CD28, CD137 (4-1BB), CD134 (OX40),Dap10, CD27, CD2, CD5, ICAM-1, LFA-1(CD11a/CD18), Lck, TNFR-I, TNFR-II,Fas, CD30, and CD40 or a combination thereof. Other co-stimulatorydomains (e.g., from other proteins) will be apparent to those of skillin the art and may be used in connection with alternate embodimentsencompassed by the disclosure.

In a preferred embodiment, the cytoplasmic domain of a DDpp-CARcomprises the CD3-zeta signaling domain by itself or combined with anyother desired cytoplasmic domain(s) useful in the context of theDDpp-CAR. For example, the cytoplasmic domain of the DDpp-CAR cancomprise a CD3 zeta chain portion and a costimulatory signaling region.The costimulatory signaling region refers to a portion of the CARcomprising the intracellular domain of a costimulatory molecule. Acostimulatory molecule is a cell surface molecule other than an antigenreceptor or their ligands that is required for an efficient response oflymphocytes to an antigen. Examples of such molecules include CD27,CD28, 41BB (CD 137), OX40, CD30, CD40, PD1, ICOS, lymphocytefunction-associated antigen-1 (LFA1), CD2, CD7, LIGHT, NKG2C, B7H3,TIM1, and LAG3.

Polypeptide linkers may be positioned between adjacent elements of theDDpp-CAR. For example linkers may be positioned between adjacent DDpp orbetween DDpp and the transmembrane domain or between the transmembranedomain and the cytoplasmic domain or between adjacent cytoplasmicdomains. The cytoplasmic signaling sequences within the cytoplasmicsignaling portion of the DDpp-CAR may be linked to each other in arandom or specified order. Optionally, a short linker, preferablybetween 2 and 10 amino acids in length may form the linkage. Aglycine-serine doublet provides a particularly suitable linker.

Insome embodiments the CAR comprises an intracellular signaling domainselected from the group consisting of a domain of a human T cellreceptor alpha, beta, or zeta chain; a human 41 BB domain; a human CD28domain; and any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the CARintracellular signaling domain comprises the intracellular domain of acostimulatory molecule selected from the group consisting of CD27, CD28,41BB, OX40, CD30, CD40, PD1, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1(LFA-1), CD2. CD7, LIGHT. NKG2C, B7-H3, a ligand that specifically bindswith CD83, and any combination thereof. In some embodiments the CARfurther comprises a second target binding domain having the same or adifferent target than the DD target binding domain. In some embodiments,the CAR comprises a first target binding domain that binds CS1 and asecond target binding domain that binds BCMA. In some embodiments, theCAR is expressed in an immune cell.

The targets of interest specificallybound by a DDpp fusion protein can be any molecule for which it isdesirable for a DDpp to bind. For example, the targets specificallybound by the DDpp fusion protein can be BCMA, CD123, CS1, HER2, AFP,and/or AFP p26, and additionally any additional target of manufacturing,formulation, therapeutic, diagnostic, or prognostic relevance or value.A number of exemplary additional targets are provided herein, by way ofexample, and are intended to be illustrative and not limiting. Theadditional target of interest bound by the DDpp fusion protein can benaturally occurring or synthetic. The additional target of interest canbe an extracellular component or an intracellular component, a solublefactor (e.g., an enzyme, hormone, cytokine, and growth factor, toxin,venom, pollutant, etc.), or a transmembrane protein (e.g., a cellsurface receptor).

Antibodiesthat can be used in the DDpp fusions include, but are not limited to,monoclonal, multi-specific, human, humanized, primatized, and chimericantibodies. Immunoglobulin or antibody molecules provided herein can beof any type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA, and IgY), class (e.g., IgG1,IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 and IgA2) or subclass of immunoglobulin molecule.In specific embodiments, the antibodies are Fc optimized antibodies.Antibodies can be from or derived from any animal origin including birdsand mammals or generated synthetically. The antibody component of theDDpp-antibody fusion protein can be naturally derived or the result ofrecombinant engineering (e.g., phage display, xenomouse, and synthetic).In certain embodiments, the antibody component of the antibody-DDppfusion enhances half-life, and increase or decrease antibody dependentcellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), and/or complement dependent cytotoxicity(CDC) activity. In some embodiments, the antibodies are human, murine,donkey, rabbit, goat, guinea pig, camel, llama, horse, or chickenantibodies. In specific embodiments, the antibodies are human.

It is generally understood that the constant region mediates severaleffector functions. For example, binding of the C1 component ofcomplement to antibodies activates the complement system. Activation ofcomplement is important in the opsonization and lysis of cell pathogens.The activation of complement also stimulates the inflammatory responseand can also be involved in autoimmune hypersensitivity. Further,antibodies bind to cells via the Fc region, with an Fc receptor site onthe antibody Fc region binding to an Fc receptor (FcR) on a cell. Thereare a number of Fc receptors that are specific for different classes ofantibody, including IgG (gamma receptors), IgE (eta receptors), IgA(alpha receptors) and IgM (mu receptors). Binding of antibody to Fcreceptors on cell surfaces triggers a number of important and diversebiological responses including engulfment and destruction ofantibody-coated particles, clearance of immune complexes, lysis ofantibody-coated target cells by killer cells (called antibody-dependentcell-mediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC), release of inflammatory mediators,placental transfer and control of immunoglobulin production.

In certain embodiments, the DDpp-Fc fusion protein has an alteredeffector function that, in turn, affects the biological profile of theadministered DDpp-Fc fusion protein. For example, the deletion orinactivation (through point mutations or other means) of a constantregion subdomain can reduce Fc receptor binding of the circulatingmodified antibody. In other cases the constant region modifications, canmoderate complement binding and thus reduce the serum half-life andnonspecific association of a conjugated cytotoxin. Yet othermodifications of the constant region can be used to eliminate disulfidelinkages or oligosaccharide moieties that allow for enhancedlocalization due to increased antigen specificity or antibodyflexibility. Similarly, modifications to the constant region inaccordance with this disclosure can easily be made using biochemical ormolecular engineering techniques known to those of ordinary skill in theart.

In some embodiments, the DDpp-Fc fusion protein does not have one ormore effector functions. For instance, in some embodiments, the DDpp-Fcfusion protein has no antibody-dependent cellular cytoxicity (ADCC)activity and/or no complement-dependent cytoxicity (CDC) activity. Incertain embodiments, the DDpp-Fc fusion protein does not bind to an Fcreceptor and/or complement factors. In certain embodiments, the DDpp-Fcfusion protein has no effector function. Examples of Fc sequenceengineering modifications that reduce or eliminate ADCC and/or CDCactivity and Fc receptor and/or complement factor binding are describedherein or otherwise know in the art, as are assays and procedures fortesting the same.

In some embodiments, DDpp-Fc fusion protein is engineered to fuse theCH3 domain directly to the hinge region of the respective modifiedantibody. In other constructs a peptide spacer is inserted between thehinge region and the modified CH2 and/or CH3 domains. For example,compatible constructs can be expressed in which the CH2 domain has beendeleted and the remaining CH3 domain (modified or unmodified) is joinedto the hinge region with a 5-20 amino acid spacer. Such a spacer can beadded, for instance, to ensure that the regulatory elements of theconstant domain remain free and accessible or that the hinge regionremains flexible. Amino acid spacers can, in some cases, prove to beimmunogenic and elicit an unwanted immune response against theconstruct. Accordingly, in certain embodiments, any spacer added to theconstruct can be relatively non-immunogenic, or even omitted altogether,so as to maintain the desired biochemical qualities of the modifiedDDpp-Fc fusion protein.

In additional embodiments, the DDpp-Fc fusion protein is modified by thepartial deletion or substitution of a few or even a single amino acid ina constant region. For example, the mutation of a single amino acid inselected areas of the CH2 domain can be enough to substantially reduceFc binding and thereby. Similarly one or more constant region domainsthat control the effector function (e.g., complement C1Q binding) can befully or partially deleted. Such partial deletions of the constantregions can improve selected characteristics of the DDpp-Fc fusionprotein (e.g., serum half-life) while leaving other desirable functionsassociated with the corresponding constant region domain intact. In someembodiments, the constant region of the DDpp-Fc fusion protein ismodified through the mutation or substitution of one or more amino acidsthat enhances the profile of the resulting construct. In this respect itis possible to disrupt the activity provided by a conserved binding site(e.g., Fc binding) while substantially maintaining the configuration andimmunogenic profile of the modified DDpp-Fc fusion protein. Thedisclosure also provides an DDpp-Fc fusion protein that contains theaddition of one or more amino acids to the constant region to enhancedesirable characteristics such, as decreasing or increasing effectorfunction or providing attachments sites for one or more cytotoxin,labeling or carbohydrate moieties. In such embodiments, it can bedesirable to insert or replicate specific sequences derived fromselected constant region domains.

In some embodiments, the DDpp is operably linked to an antibody fragmentor subdomain (e.g., scFv, diabody, EP 404,097; WO93/111161; WO14/028776;and Holliger et al., PNAS 90: 6444-6448 (1993), the contents of each ofwhich is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). The antibodyfragment or subdomain can be any fragment or domain of an antibody. Seefor example, WO04/058820, WO99/42077 and WO05/017148, the contents ofeach of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Forexample, a DDpp fusion protein can contain an antibody effector domainor derivative of an antibody effector domain that confers one or moreeffector functions to the DDpp and/or confers upon the DDpp fusionprotein the ability to bind to one or more Fc receptors. In someembodiments, a DDpp-antibody fusion protein contains an antigen-bindingfragment of an antibody or a fragment thereof. In additionalembodiments, a DDpp-antibody fusion protein contains an immunoglobulineffector domain that comprises one or more CH2 and or CH3 domains of anantibody having effector function provided by the CH2 and CH3 domains.Other sequences in the DDpp fusion that provide an effector function andthat are encompassed by the invention will be clear to those skilled inthe art and can routinely be chosen and designed into a DDpp fusionprotein encompassed herein on the basis of the desired effectorfunction(s).

In another embodiment, the DDpp fusion proteincomprises an antibody or an antibody fragment that specifically binds anantigen associated with a disease or disorder of the immune system.

The terms “linker” and spacer are used interchangeably herein to referto a peptide or other chemical linkage that functions to link otherwiseindependent functional domains. In one embodiment, a linker in a DDpp islocated between a DDpp and another polypeptide component containing anotherwise independent functional domain. Suitable linkers for couplingthe two or more linked DDpp will be clear to the persons skilled in theart and may generally be any linker used in the art to link peptides,proteins or other organic molecules. In particular embodiments, such alinker is suitable for constructing proteins or polypeptides that areintended for pharmaceutical use.

Suitable linkers for operably linking a DDpp and an additional componentof a DDpp fusion protein in a single-chain amino acid sequence includebut are not limited to, polypeptide linkers such as glycine linkers,serine linkers, mixed glycine/serine linkers, glycine- and serine-richlinkers or linkers composed of largely polar polypeptide fragments.

Linkers can be of any size or composition so long as they are able tooperably link a DDpp in a manner that enables the DDpp to bind a targetof interest such as BCMA, CD123, CS1, HER2, AFP, or AFP p26. In someembodiments, linkers are about 1 to about 100 amino acids, about 1 to 50amino acids, about 1 to 20 amino acids, about 1 to 15 amino acids, about1 to 10 amino acids, about 1 to 5 amino acids, about 2 to 20 aminoacids, about 2 to 15 amino acids, about 2 to 10 amino acids, or about 2to 5 amino acids.

When two or more linkers are used in the DDpp fusion proteins,these linkers may be the same or different. In the context anddisclosure provided herein, a person skilled in the art will be able toroutinely determine the optimal linker composition and length for thepurpose of operably linking a DDpp and other components of a DDpp fusionprotein.

The linker can also be a non-peptide linker such as an alkyl linker, ora PEG linker. For example, alkyl linkers such as —NH—(CH2)s-C(0)-,wherein s=2-20 can be used. These alkyl linkers may further besubstituted by any non-sterically hindering group such as lower alkyl(e.g., C1-C6) lower acyl, halogen (e.g., Cl, Br), CN, NH2, phenyl, etc.An exemplary non-peptide linker is a PEG linker.

In one embodiment, the linker is a “cleavable linker” that facilitatesthe release of a DDpp or cytotoxic agent in a cell. For example, anacid-labile linker (e.g., hydrazone), protease-sensitive (e.g.,peptidase-sensitive) linker, photolabile linker, dimethyl linker ordisulfide-containing linker (Chari, Can. Res. 52: 127-131 (1992); U.S.Pat. No. 5,208,020; U.S. Appl. Pub. No. 20090110753; the contents ofeach of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety) canbe used wherein it is desirable that the covalent attachment between aDDpp or a cytotoxic agent and the fusion partner is intracellularlycleaved when the composition is internalized into the cell. The terms“intracellularly cleaved” and “intracellular cleavage” refer to ametabolic process or reaction inside a cell on an DDpp drug conjugatewhereby the covalent attachment, i.e., linked via a linker between theDDpp and cytotoxic agent, DDpp and fusion partner, or between two DDppis broken, resulting in the free DDpp and/or cytotoxic agent dissociatedinside the cell.

In some embodiments, the DDpp (e.g., a DDpp fusion protein) contains atleast one reactive residue. Reactive residues are useful, for example,as sites for the attachment of conjugates such as chemotherapeuticdrugs. The reactive residue can be, for example, a cysteine, a lysine,or another reactive residue. Thus, a cysteine can be added to a DDpp ateither the N- or C-terminus, or within the DDpp sequence. A cysteine canbe substituted for another amino acid in the sequence of a DDpp. Inaddition, a lysine can be added to a DDpp at either end or within theDDpp sequence and/or a lysine can be substituted for another amino acidin the sequence of a DDpp. In one embodiment, a reactive residue (e.g.,cysteine, lysine, etc.) is located in a loop sequence of a DD (e.g.,amino acid residues 22-24 and 46-49 of SEQ ID NOS: 11-949, and 950). Inone embodiment, a reactive residue is located between components of aDDpp fusion, e.g., in a linker located between a DDpp and othercomponent of a DDpp fusion protein.

For example, the polynucleotide cancomprise one or more promoters or transcriptional enhancers, ribosomalbinding sites, transcription termination signals, and polyadenylationsignals, as expression control elements. The polynucleotide can beinserted within any suitable vector, which can be contained within anysuitable host cell for expression.

The expression of nucleic acids encoding DDpp is typically achieved byoperably linking a nucleic acid encoding the DDpp to a promoter in anexpression vector. Typical expression vectors contain transcription andtranslation terminators, initiation sequences, and promoters useful forregulation of the expression of the desired nucleic acid sequence.Methods known in the art can be used to routinely construct expressionvectors containing the nucleic acid sequence encoding a DDpp along withappropriate transcriptional/translational control signals. These methodsinclude, but are not limited to in vitro recombinant DNA techniques,synthetic techniques and in vivo recombination/genetic recombination.The expression of the polynucleotide can be performed in any suitableexpression host known in the art including, but not limited to bacterialcells, yeast cells, insect cells, plant cells or mammalian cells. In oneembodiment, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a DDpp is operably linkedto a suitable promoter sequence such that the nucleic acid sequence istranscribed and/or translated into DDpp in a host. Promoters useful forexpression in E. coli, include but are not limited to, the T7 promoter.

In one embodiment, a vector comprising a DDpp encoding nucleic acid isintroduced into a host cell (e.g., phagemid) for expression of a DDpp.The vector can remain episomal or become chromosomally integrated, aslong as the insert encoding therapeutic agent can be transcribed.Vectors can be constructed by standard recombinant DNA technology.Vectors can be plasmids, phages, cosmids, phagemids, viruses, or anyother types known in the art, which are used for replication andexpression in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. It will be appreciated byone of skill in the art that a wide variety of components known in theart (such as expression control elements) can be included in suchvectors, including a wide variety of transcription signals, such aspromoters and other sequences that regulate the binding of RNApolymerase onto the promoter. Any promoter known or demonstrated to beeffective in the cells in which the vector will be expressed can be usedto initiate expression of the DDpp. Suitable promoters can be inducible(e.g., regulated) or constitutive. Non-limiting examples of suitablepromoters include the SV40 early promoter region, the promoter containedin the 3′ long terminal repeat of Rous sarcoma virus, the HSV-1 (herpessimplex virus-1) thymidine kinase promoter, the regulatory sequences ofthe metallothionein gene, etc., as well as the following animaltranscriptional control regions, which exhibit tissue specificity andhave been utilized in transgenic animals: elastase I gene control regionwhich is active in pancreatic acinar cells; insulin gene control regionwhich is active in pancreatic beta cells, mouse mammary tumor viruscontrol region which is active in testicular, breast, lymphoid and mastcells, albumin gene control region which is active in liver,alpha-fetoprotein gene control region which is active in liver, alpha1-antitrypsin gene control region which is active in the liver,beta-globin gene control region which is active in erythroid cells,myelin basic protein gene control region which is active inoligodendrocyte cells in the brain, myosin light chain-2 gene controlregion which is active in skeletal muscle, and gonadotropin releasinghormone gene control region which is active in the hypothalamus. In aparticular embodiment, the promoter is an immunoglobulin gene controlregion which is active in lymphoid cells.

In one embodiment, one or several nucleic acids encoding a DDpp isexpressed under the control of a constitutive promoter or, alternately,a regulated expression system. Suitable regulated expression systemsinclude, but are not limited to, a tetracycline-regulated expressionsystem, an ecdysone inducible expression system, a lac-switch expressionsystem, a glucocorticoid-inducible expression system, atemperature-inducible promoter system, and a metallothioneinmetal-inducible expression system. If several different nucleic acidsencoding a DDpp are contained within the host cell system, some of thenucleic acids may be expressed under the control of a constitutivepromoter, while others may be expressed under the control of a regulatedpromoter. Expression levels may be determined by methods known in theart, including Western blot analysis and Northern blot analysis.

A variety of host-expression vector systems can be utilized to express anucleic acid encoding a DDpp. Vectors containing the nucleic acidsencoding the DDpp (e.g., individual DD subunits or DDpp fusions) orportions or fragments thereof, include plasmid vectors, a single anddouble-stranded phage vectors, as well as single and double-stranded RNAor DNA viral vectors. Phage and viral vectors may also be introducedinto host cells in the form of packaged or encapsulated virus usingknown techniques for infection and transduction. Moreover, viral vectorsmay be replication competent or alternatively, replication defective.Alternatively, cell-free translation systems may also be used to producethe protein using RNAs derived from the DNA expression constructs (see,e.g., WO86/05807 and WO89/01036; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,122,464; thecontents of each of which is herein incorporated by reference in itsentirety).

Generally, any type of cells or cultured cell line can be used toexpress a DDpp provided herein. In some embodiments, the background cellline used to generate an engineered host cells is a phage, a bacterialcell, a yeast cell or a mammalian cell. A variety of host-expressionvector systems may be used to express the coding sequence a DDpp fusionprotein. Mammalian cells can be used as host cell systems transfectedwith recombinant plasmid DNA or cosmid DNA expression vectors containingthe coding sequence of the target of interest and the coding sequence ofthe fusion polypeptide.

The cells can be primary isolates from organisms (including human),cultures, or cell lines of transformed or transgenic nature. In someembodiments, the host cell is a human cell. In some embodiments, thehost cell is human T cell. In some embodiments, the host cell is derivedfrom a human patient.

Useful host cells include but are not limited to microorganisms such as,bacteria (e.g., E. coli, B. subtilis) transformed with recombinantbacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA or cosmid DNA expression vectorscontaining DDpp coding sequences; yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces, Pichia)transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectors containing DDppcoding sequences; insect cell systems infected with recombinant virusexpression vectors (e.g., baculovirus) containing DDpp coding sequences;plant cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors(e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus, CaMV; tobacco mosaic virus, TMV) ortransformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g., Tiplasmid) containing DDpp coding sequences. In particular embodiments,the mammalian cell systems are used to produce the DDpp. Mammalian cellsystems typically utilize recombinant expression constructs containingpromoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g.,metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., theadenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter).

Prokaryotes useful as host cells in producing a DDpp such as DDpp fusionprotein, include gram negative or gram positive organisms such as, E.coli and B. subtilis. Expression vectors for use in prokaryotic hostcells generally contain one or more phenotypic selectable marker genes(e.g., genes encoding proteins that confer antibiotic resistance or thatsupply an autotrophic requirement). Examples of useful prokaryotic hostexpression vectors include the pKK223-3 (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden),pGEMI (Promega, Wis., USA), pET (Novagen, Wis., USA) and pRSET(Invitrogen, Calif., USA) series of vectors (see, e.g., Studier, J. Mol.Biol. 219: 37 (1991) and Schoepfer, Gene 124: 83 (1993)). Exemplarypromoter sequences frequently used in prokaryotic host cell expressionvectors include T7, (Rosenberg et al., Gene 56: 125-135 (1987)),beta-lactamase (penicillinase), lactose promoter system (Chang et al.,Nature 275: 615 (1978)); and Goeddel et al., Nature 281: 544 (1979)),tryptophan (trp) promoter system (Goeddel et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 8:4057 (1980)), and tac promoter (Sambrook et al., 1990, MolecularCloning, A Laboratory Manual, 2d Ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory,Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.).

In one embodiment, a eukaryotic host cell systems is be used, includingyeast cells transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectorscontaining the coding sequence of a DDpp, such as, the expressionsystems taught in U.S. Appl. No. 60/344,169 and WO03/056914 (methods forproducing humanlike glycoprotein in a non-human eukaryotic host cell)(the contents of each of which is herein incorporated by reference inits entirety). Exemplary yeast that can be used to produce the providedcompositions, such as, DD, include yeast from the genus Saccharomyces,Pichia, Actinomycetes and Kluyveromyces. Yeast vectors typically containan origin of replication sequence from a 2 mu yeast plasmid, anautonomously replicating sequence (ARS), a promoter region, sequencesfor polyadenylation, sequences for transcription termination, and aselectable marker gene. Examples of promoter sequences in yeastexpression constructs include, promoters from metallothionein,3-phosphoglycerate kinase (Hitzeman, J. Biol. Chem. 255: 2073 (1980))and other glycolytic enzymes, such as, enolase,glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, pyruvatedecarboxylase, phosphofructokinase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase,3-phospho glycerate mutase, pyruvate kinase, triosephosphate isomerase,phosphoglucose isomerase, and glucokinase. Additional suitable vectorsand promoters for use in yeast expression as well as yeasttransformation protocols are known in the art. See, e.g., Fleer, Gene107: 285-195 (1991) and Hinnen, PNAS 75: 1929 (1978).

Insect and plant host cell culture systems are also useful for producingthe compositions encompassed by the disclosure. Such host cell systemsinclude for example, insect cell systems infected with recombinant virusexpression vectors (e.g., baculovirus) containing the coding sequence ofa DD; plant cell systems infected with recombinant virus expressionvectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus, CaMV; tobacco mosaic virus,TMV) or transformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g.,Ti plasmid) containing the coding sequence of a DD, including, but notlimited to, the expression systems taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,815,184;U.S. Publ. Nos. 60/365,769, and 60/368,047; and WO04/057002,WO04/024927, and WO03/078614; the contents of each of which is hereinincorporated by reference in its entirety.

In an additional embodiment the host cell systems may be used, includinganimal cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors(e.g., adenoviruses, retroviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpesviruses, lentiviruses) including cell lines engineered to containmultiple copies of the DNA encoding a DDpp either stably amplified(CHO/dhfr) or unstably amplified in double-minute chromosomes (e.g.,murine cell lines). In one embodiment, the vector comprising thepolynucleotide(s) encoding the DDpp is polycistronic. Exemplarymammalian cells useful for producing these compositions include 293cells (e.g., 293T and 293F), CHO cells, BHK cells, NS0 cells, SP2/0cells, YO myeloma cells, P3X63 mouse myeloma cells, PER cells, PER.C6(Crucell, Netherlands) cells VERY, Hela cells, COS cells, MDCK cells,3T3 cells, W138 cells, BT483 cells, Hs578T cells, HTB2 cells, BT20cells, T47D cells, CRL7030 cells, HsS78Bst cells, hybridoma cells, andother mammalian cells.

Some examples of expression systems and selectionmethods are described in the following references and references citedtherein: Borth et al., Biotechnol. Bioen. 71(4): 266-73 (2000), inWerner et al., Arzneimittel-forschung/Drug Res. 48(8): 870-80 (1998),Andersen et al., Curr. Op. Biotechnol. 13: 117-123 (2002), Chadd et al.,Curr. Op. Biotechnol. 12: 188-194 (2001), and Giddings, Curr. Op.Biotechnol. 12: 450-454 (2001). Additional examples of expressionsystems and selection methods are described in Logan et al., PNAS 81:355-359 (1984), Birtner et al., Methods Enzymol. 153: 51-544 (1987)).Transcriptional and translational control sequences for mammalian hostcell expression vectors are frequently derived from viral genomes.Commonly used promoter sequences and enhancer sequences in mammalianexpression vectors include, sequences derived from Polyoma virus,Adenovirus 2, Simian Virus 40 (SV40), and human cytomegalovirus (CMV).Exemplary commercially available expression vectors for use in mammalianhost cells include pCEP4 (Invitrogen) and pcDNA3 (Invitrogen).

Physical methods for introducing a nucleic acid into a host cell (e.g.,a mammalian host cell) include calcium phosphate precipitation,lipofection, particle bombardment, microinjection, electroporation, andthe like. Methods for producing cells comprising vectors and/orexogenous nucleic acids are well-known in the art. See, for example,Sambrook et al. (2001, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, ColdSpring Harbor Laboratory, New York).

Biological methods for introducing a polynucleotide of interest into ahost cell include the use of DNA and RNA vectors. Viral vectors, andespecially retroviral vectors, have become the most widely used methodfor inserting genes into mammalian (e.g., human) cells. Other viralvectors can be derived from lentivirus, poxviruses, herpes simplex virusI, adenoviruses and adeno-associated viruses, and the like. See, forexample, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,350,674 and 5,585,362, the contents of each ofwhich is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Methods for introducing a DNA and RNA polynucleotides of interest into ahost cell include electroporation of cells, in which an electrical fieldis applied to cells in order to increase the permeability of the cellmembrane, allowing chemicals, drugs, or polynucleotides to be introducedinto the cell. DDpp containing DNA or RNA constructs may be introducedinto mammalian or prokaryotic cells using electroporation.

In a preferred embodiment, electroporation of cells results in theexpression of a DDpp-CAR on the surface of T cells, NK cells, NKT cells.Such expression may be transient or stable over the life of the cell.Electroporation may be accomplished with methods known in the artincluding MaxCyte GT® and STX® Transfection Systems (MaxCyte,Gaithersburg, Md., USA).

Chemical means for introducing a polynucleotide into a host cell includecolloidal dispersion systems, such as macromolecule complexes,nanocapsules, microspheres, beads, and lipid-based systems includingoILin-water emulsions, micelles, mixed micelles, and liposomes. Anexemplary colloidal system for use as a delivery vehicle in vitro and invivo is a liposome (e.g., an artificial membrane vesicle). In the casewhere a non-viral delivery system is utilized, an exemplary deliveryvehicle is a liposome. The use of lipid formulations is contemplated forthe introduction of the nucleic acids into a host cell (in vitro, exvivo or in vivo). In another aspect, the nucleic acid can be associatedwith a lipid. The nucleic acid associated with a lipid can beencapsulated in the aqueous interior of a liposome, interspersed withinthe lipid bilayer of a liposome, attached to a liposome via a linkingmolecule that is associated with both the liposome and theoligonucleotide, entrapped in a liposome, complexed with a liposome,dispersed in a solution containing a lipid, mixed with a lipid, combinedwith a lipid, contained as a suspension in a lipid, contained orcomplexed with a micelle, or otherwise associated with a lipid. Lipid,lipid/DNA or lipid/expression vector associated compositions are notlimited to any particular structure in solution. For example, they canbe present in a bilayer structure, as micelles, or with a “collapsed”structure. They can also simply be interspersed in a solution, possiblyforming aggregates that are not uniform in size or shape. Lipids arefatty substances which can be naturally occurring or synthetic lipids.For example, lipids include the fatty droplets that naturally occur inthe cytoplasm as well as the class of compounds which contain long-chainaliphatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives, such as fatty acids,alcohols, amines, amino alcohols, and aldehydes.

Lipids suitable for use can be obtained from commercial sources. Forexample, dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (“DMPC”) can be obtained fromSigma, St. Louis, Mo.; dicetyl phosphate (“DCP”) can be obtained from K& K Laboratories (Plainview, N.Y.); cholesterol (“Choi”) can be obtainedfrom Calbiochem-Behring; dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol (“DMPG”) andother lipids may be obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc. (Birmingham,Ala.). Stock solutions of lipids in chloroform or chloroform/methanolcan be stored at about −20° C. Chloroform may be used as the onlysolvent since it is more readily evaporated than methanol. “Liposome” isa generic term encompassing a variety of single and multilamellar lipidvehicles formed by the generation of enclosed lipid bilayers oraggregates. Liposomes can be characterized as having vesicularstructures with a phospholipid bilayer membrane and an inner aqueousmedium. Multilamellar liposomes have multiple lipid layers separated byaqueous medium. They form spontaneously when phospholipids are suspendedin an excess of aqueous solution. The lipid components undergoself-rearrangement before the formation of closed structures and entrapwater and dissolved solutes between the lipid bilayers (Ghosh et al.,Glycobiology 5: 505-510 (1991)). However, compositions that havedifferent structures in solution than the normal vesicular structure arealso encompassed. For example, the lipids can assume a micellarstructure or merely exist as non-uniform aggregates of lipid molecules.Also contemplated are lipofectamine-nucleic acid complexes.

Regardless of the method used to introduce exogenous nucleic acids intoa host cell, or the presence of the recombinant nucleic acid sequence inthe host cell can routinely be confirmed through a variety of assaysknown in the art. Such assays include, for example, “molecularbiological” assays known in the art, such as Southern and Northernblotting, RT-PCR and PCR; “biochemical” assays, such as detecting thepresence or absence of a particular peptide, e.g., by immunologicalmeans (ELISAs and Western blots) or by assays described herein toidentify agents falling within the scope of the provided embodiments.

Reporter genes are used for identifying potentially transfected cellsand for evaluating the functionality of regulatory sequences. Ingeneral, a reporter gene is a gene that is not present in or expressedby the recipient organism, tissue, or cell and that encodes apolypeptide whose expression is manifested by some easily detectableproperty, e.g., enzymatic activity. Expression of the reporter gene isassayed at a suitable time after the DNA has been introduced into therecipient cells. A non-limiting list of suitable reporter genes caninclude genes encoding luciferase, beta-galactosidase, chloramphenicolacetyl transferase, secreted alkaline phosphatase, or the greenfluorescent protein gene (e.g., Ui-Tei et al., FEBS Lett. 479: 79-82(2000)). Suitable expression systems are known in the art and can beprepared using known techniques or obtained commercially. In general,the construct with the minimal 5′ flanking region showing the highestlevel of expression of reporter gene is identified as the promoter. Suchpromoter regions can routinely be linked to a reporter gene and used toevaluate agents for the ability to modulate promoter-driventranscription.

A number of selection systems can be used in mammalian host-vectorexpression systems, including, but not limited to, the herpes simplexvirus thymidine kinase, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferaseand adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Lowy et al., Cell 22: 817 (1980))genes, which can be employed in tk⁻, hgprt⁻ or part cells, respectively.Additionally, antimetabolite resistance can be used as the basis ofselection for e.g., dhfr, gpt, neo, hygro, trpB, hisD, ODC (ornithinedecarboxylase), and the glutamine synthase system.

Expression of Cell Associated DDpp

In another embodiment, the production of DDpp results in cell associatedDDpp compositions. For example, the expression of recombinant vectorsthat encode DDpp operably linked to a cell membrane anchor ortransmembrane domain have the potential to remain cell associated. DDppcomprising chimeric antigen receptors are intentionally cell associatedand used in the context of the cell in which they are expressed. Oneparticular embodiment relates to a strategy of adoptive cell transfer ofT cells which have been transduced to express a DDpp chimeric antigenreceptor (CAR). Preferably, the cell can be genetically modified tostably express a DDpp on its surface, conferring novel targetspecificity that is MHC independent.

A variety of viral-derived vectors can be used in applications in whichviruses are used for transfection and integration into a mammalian cellgenome. Viruses, which are useful as vectors include, but are notlimited to, retroviruses, adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpesviruses, and lentiviruses. Lentiviral vectors are particularly suitableto achieving long-term gene transfer (e.g., adoptive T cell immunetherapy) since they allow long-term, stable integration of a transgeneand its propagation in daughter cells. Lentiviral vectors have the addedadvantage over vectors derived from onco-retroviruses such as murineleukemia viruses in that they can transduce non-proliferating cells,such as hepatocytes. They also have the added advantage of lowimmunogenicity. In general, a suitable vector contains an origin ofreplication functional in at least one organism, a promoter sequence,convenient restriction endonuclease sites, and one or more selectablemarkers, (e.g., WO01/96584 and WO01/29058; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,326,193).Several vector promoter sequences are available for expression of thetransgenes. One example of a suitable promoter is the immediate earlycytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter sequence. This promoter sequence is astrong constitutive promoter sequence capable of driving high levels ofexpression of any polynucleotide sequence operatively linked thereto.Another example of a suitable promoter is EF1a. However, otherconstitutive promoter sequences can also be used, including, but notlimited to the simian virus 40 (SV40) early promoter, mouse mammarytumor virus (MMTV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) long terminalrepeat (LTR) promoter, MoMuLV promoter, an avian leukemia viruspromoter, an Epstein-Barr virus immediate early promoter, a Rous sarcomavirus promoter, as well as human gene promoters such as, but not limitedto, the actin promoter, the myosin promoter, the hemoglobin promoter,and the creatine kinase promoter. Inducible promoters include, but arenot limited to a metallothionein promoter, a glucocorticoid promoter, aprogesterone promoter, and a tetracycline promoter.

In order to assess the expression of a DDpp-CAR polypeptide or portionsthereof, the expression vector to be introduced into a cell can alsocontain either a selectable marker gene or a reporter gene or both tofacilitate identification and selection of expressing cells from thepopulation of cells sought to be transfected or infected through viralvectors, in other aspects, the selectable marker may be carried on aseparate piece of DNA and used in a co-transfection procedure. Bothselectable markers and reporter genes may be flanked with appropriateregulatory sequences to enable expression in the host cells. Usefulselectable markers include, for example, antibiotic-resistance genes,such as neo and the like.

Prior to expansion and genetic modification of the T cells, a source ofT cells is obtained from a subject. T cells can be obtained from anumber of sources, including peripheral blood mononuclear cells, bonemarrow, lymph node tissue, cord blood, thymus tissue, tissue from a siteof infection, ascites, pleural effusion, spleen tissue, and tumors. Invarious embodiments, any number of T cell lines available in the art,may be used.

A full discussion of T cell isolation, culturing, activation andexpansion methods may be found in WO/12079000, the contents of which isherein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Additionally provided is a host cell comprising nucleic acids encoding aDDpp described herein. Compositions comprising a nucleic acid sequenceencoding the DDpp are also provided.

“Co-express” as used herein refers to simultaneous expression of two ormore protein coding sequences. The coding sequences may be nucleic acidsencoding, for example, a single protein or a chimeric protein as asingle polypeptide chain.

Chemical Synthesis of DDpp

In addition to recombinant methods, DDpp production may also be carriedout using organic chemical synthesis of the desired polypeptide using avariety of liquid and solid phase chemical processes known in the art.Various automatic synthesizers are commercially available and can beused in accordance with known protocols. See, for example, Tam et al.,J. Am. Chem. Soc. 105: 6442 (1983); Merrifield, Science 232: 341-347(1986); Barany and Merrifield, The Peptides, Gross and Meienhofer, eds,Academic Press, New York, 1-284; Barany et al., Int. J. Pep.

Plenum Press, N Y. 1990, vol. 12, pp.1-19; Stewart et al., Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis, W.H. Freeman Co.,San Francisco, 1989. One advantage of these methodologies is that theyallow for the incorporation of non-natural amino acid residues into thesequence of the DDpp.

The DDpp that are used in the methods encompassed herein may be modifiedduring or after synthesis or translation, e.g., by glycosylation,acetylation, benzylation, phosphorylation, amidation, pegylation,formylation, derivatization by known protecting/blocking groups,proteolytic cleavage, linkage to an antibody molecule, hydroxylation,iodination, methylation, myristoylation, oxidation, pegylation,proteolytic processing, phosphorylation, prenylation, racemization,selenoylation, sulfation, ubiquitination, etc. (See, e.g., Creighton,Proteins: Structures and Molecular Properties, 2d Ed. (W.H. Freeman andCo., N.Y., 1992); Postranslational Covalent Modification of Proteins,Johnson, ed. (Academic Press, New York, 1983), pp. 1-12; Seifter, Meth.Enzymol. 182: 626-646 (1990); Rattan, Ann.

Other moieties useful for improvingpeptide half-life or stability are described herein and include, forinstance, albumin (optionally modified to allow conjugation to theDDpp), fatty acid chains (e.g., C12-C18 fatty acid, such as a C14 fattyacid, or dicarboxylic acids, such as octadecane dicarboxylic acid(oddc)), an antibody or fragment thereof (e.g., an Fc portion of anantibody), and proline-alanine-serine multimers.

In some embodiments, the DDpp is conjugated to a polyethylene glycol(PEG) moiety, human serum albumin (HSA), an antibody or antibodyfragment, hydroxyethyl starch, a proline-alanine-serine multimer(PASylation), a C12-C18 fatty acid, or polysialic acid.

In some embodiments, the disclosure provides compositions comprising oneor more of the DD sequences disclosed on Table 1. In other embodiments,the disclosure provides compositions comprising one or more DDscomprising a sequence with 60-70%, 70-75%, 75-80%, 80-85%, 85-90%,95-99% homology (and overlapping ranges therein) with a sequencedisclosed in Table 1. In some embodiments, the DD(s) having suchhomology are functionally similar or identical as compared to therespective reference sequence in Table 1. In some embodiments, thedisclosure provides a polypeptide that comprises one or more DD thatcompete with (wholly or partially) one or more of the DD sequencesdisclosed in Table 1 (reference sequence) for its respective target. Theability of one polypeptide to compete with a reference polypeptide forbinding to a respective target can routinely be determined using astandard competition assay known in the art. In some embodiments,competition does not require that the polypeptide competes for the sameepitope as a polypeptide (DD) of Table 1, rather the polypeptide cancompete by binding a sterically inhibiting epitope, an overlappingepitope, etc.

Affinity Maturation and De-Immunization of DD and DDpp

Affinity maturation strategies can be used to generate high affinity DDand DDpp that can be used in the DDpp fusion proteins described herein.An improved DD and DDpp that specifically binds a desired target (e.g.,BCAM, CD123, CS1, HER2, AFP, and AFP p26) can also be prepared based ona known DDpp reference sequence. For example, at least one, two, three,four, five, or more amino acid mutations (e.g., conservative ornon-conservative substitutions), deletions or insertions can beintroduced into a DD sequence disclosed in Table 1 (i.e., a referencesequence) and the resulting DDpp can be screened for binding to therespective target and biological activity, such as the ability toantagonize the biological activity of the respective target or agonizethe biological activity of the respective target.

The disclosed DDpp, particularly those administered to a subject, arepreferably not antigenic with respect to the subject (e.g., human). Insome embodiments, the sequence of the DDpp does not contain a humanHLA-DR binding motif or cleavage sites for proteasomes andimmune-proteasomes. In particular embodiments, the DDpp sequence doesnot contain an antigenic sequence as determined by a computer predictionmodel version existent on the filing date of this specification. Inparticular embodiments, the DDpp sequence does not contain an MHC (classI or class II) binding site sequence as predicted by an algorithmselected from ProPred (see, e.g., Singh, Bioinformatics 17(12):1236-1237 (2001)), ProPred1 (Singh, Bioinformatics 19(8): 1009-14(2003)), SYFPEITHI (see, e.g., Schuler, Immunoinf. Meth. in Mol. Biol.409(1): 75-93 (2007)), SMM-align (see, e.g., Nielsen, BMC Bioinformatics8: 238 (2007)), RANKPEP (see, e.g., Reche, Hum Immunol 63: 701-709.(2004)), or TEPITOPE (see, Sturniolo, Nat Biotechnol 17: 555-561(1999)), wherein the version of the algorithm and the applied databaseare in existence on the filing date of this application. In someembodiments, the DDpp does not contain a sequence that sharescharacteristics with a high affinity (binding threshold less than 6%) Tcell epitope. (Singh, Bioinformatics 17: 1236-1237 (2001)). In someembodiments, the DDpp does not contain a sequence that sharescharacteristics with a promiscuous (present in greater than 50% ofrelevant alleles) T cell epitope (Singh, Bioinformatics 17: 1236-1237(2001)). In some embodiments, the DDpp does not contain a sequence thatshares characteristics with a high affinity or a promiscuous T cellepitope. In particular embodiments, the DDpp does not contain thesequence LAAIKTRLQ (SEQ ID NO: 2). Techniques for generating, screening,and identifying affinity matured DDpp variants and target-binding DDppvariants containing a sequence alteration that removes a predicted MHC(class I or class II) binding site sequence are known in the art.

Articles of Manufacture

Articles of manufacture, including, kits, are provided herein. Thearticle of manufacture may comprise a container and a label or packageinsert on or associated with the container. Suitable containers include,for example, bottles, vials or syringes. The containers may be formedfrom a variety of materials such as glass or plastic. The containerholds one or more DDpp, nucleic acids encoding DDpp and/or vectors orhost cells of the present disclosure. The label or package insert mayinclude directions for performing affinity based screening and/ordetection.

Also provided are kits containing a DDpp. Such kits have uses including,but not limited to detecting the target of interest to which the DDppspecifically binds (e.g., BCMA, CD123, CS1, HER2, AFP, or AFP p26)).Such assay kit may be useful in screening for the presence of a targetof interest and/or quantitating the concentrations of a target ofinterest in a fluid, such as, a biological fluid (e.g., blood, serum, orsynovial fluid).

In one embodiment a DDpp assay kit is contemplated which comprises oneor more containers of a DDpp that specifically binds a target ofinterest and, optionally, a detection means for determining the presenceor absence of a target/DDpp interaction or the absence thereof. The kitfurther optionally contains target of interest protein (e.g., BCMA,CD123, CS1, HER2, AFP, or AFP p26) that may be used, for example as acontrol or standard. The DDpp may be free or expressed on the surface ofa host cell or on the surface of a bacteriophage. In a specificembodiment, the DDpp or target of interest provided in the kit islabeled. Any label known in the art can be used. In some embodiments,the label is selected from the group consisting of biotin, a fluorogen,an enzyme, an epitope, a chromogen, or a radionuclide. In someembodiments, the DDpp is immobilized on a solid support. The detectionmeans employed to detect the label will depend on the nature of thelabel and can be any known in the art, e.g., film to detect aradionuclide; an enzyme substrate that gives rise to or amplifies adetectable signal to detect the presence of a target of interest.

Preferably, the kit further comprises a solid support for the DDpp,which may be provided as a separate element or on which a DDpp thatspecifically binds a target of interest (e.g., BCMA, CD123, CS1, HER2,AFP, or AFP p26) is immobilized. Hence, the DDpp that specifically bindsthe target of interest in the kit may be immobilized on a solid support,or they may be immobilized on such support that is included with the kitor provided separately from the kit. Preferably, DDpp is coated on amicrotiter plate. In some embodiments, the detection involves a signalamplifying molecule. Where the signal amplifying molecule is an enzyme,the kit optionally further includes substrates and cofactors required bythe enzyme, and where the amplifying molecule is a fluorophore. The kitoptionally further includes a dye precursor that provides the detectablechromophore.

The kit may also contain instructions for carrying out the assay as wellas other additives such as stabilizers, washing and incubation buffers,and the like. The components of the kit will be provided inpredetermined ratios, with the relative amounts of the various reagentssuitably varied to provide for concentrations in solution of thereagents that substantially maximize the sensitivity of the assay.Particularly, the reagents can be provided as dry powders, usuallylyophilized, including excipients, which on dissolution will provide fora reagent solution having the appropriate concentration for combiningwith the sample to be tested.

Various formats and techniques for binding assays that can be used areknown in the art and include but are not limited to, immobilization tofilters such as nylon or nitrocellulose; two-dimensional arrays, enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmuno-assay (RIA), competitivebinding assays, direct and indirect sandwich assays, immunoprecipitationassays, fluorimetric microvolume assay technology (FMAT™), Luminex™system assays, fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET),bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), electroimmunoassays,AlphaScreen™, nanoparticle-derived techniques, and surface plasmonresonance (SPR).

Binding assays can be homogeneous or semi-homogeneous. A homogeneousassay is an assay where all the components are mixed together,incubated, and then analyzed. A semi-homogeneous assay is one where themajority of the reaction takes place as a complex mixture, but a washingstep is required prior to the addition of a final reagent and analysis,in contrast to a typical stepwise assembly sandwich assay where eachcomponent is added then washed off before the next component is added.In some embodiments, the assay is an immunoassay. In certainembodiments, the assay is a semi-homogeneous Enzyme Immuno-Assay (EIA).

In particularembodiments, DDpp such as DDpp fusion proteins are used as a therapeuticagent.

Analytical and Diagnostic Applications

Whether alone, as fusion proteins, as chemical conjugates or as otherembodiments, described herein, DDpp have a variety of applications. Insome embodiments, DDpp are used as detection reagents of targets ofinterest in a variety of different sample types.

In one embodiment a DDpp are used to detect targets of interest insolutions involved in manufacturing processes, such as proteinexpression. Samples may include, but are not limited to, water, buffers,in-process purification samples, bulk drug substance and final drugproduct. In still additional embodiments, the DDpp can be used to detectcontaminants from a sample, such as a water supply source or water (orother fluid) used in manufacturing.

In another embodiment, DDpp are used to detect targets of interest indiagnostic samples. Samples may include, but are not limited to tissuehomogenates, cell extracts, biopsy samples, sera, plasma, lymph, blood,blood fractions, urine, synovial fluid, spinal fluid, saliva, mucous,sputum, pleural fluid, nipple aspirates, fluid of the respiratory,intestinal, and genitourinary tracts, tear fluid, breast milk, fluidfrom the lymphatic system, semen, cerebrospinal fluid, intra-organsystem fluid, ascitic fluid, tumor cyst fluid, amniotic fluid, and mediaor lysate from cultured cells.

In one embodiment, the DDpp are useful for detecting the presence of afactor or multiple factors (e.g., antigens or organisms) in a biologicalsample. The term “detecting” as used herein encompasses quantitative orqualitative detection. In certain embodiments, a biological samplecomprises a cell, tissue or fluid. In certain embodiments, such tissuesinclude normal and/or cancerous tissues.

Various formats and techniques for detection are known in the art andinclude but are not limited to Western Blot analysis,Immunohistochemistry, ELISA, FACS analysis, enzymatic assays,autoradiography and any of the binding assays mentioned herein.

In one embodiment, a method is provided for detecting a target ofinterest (e.g., BCMA, CD123, CS1, HER2, AFP, or AFP p26) in a solutioncontaining the target comprising: (a) contacting the solution with aDDpp that specifically binds the target of interest under conditionssuitable for specific binding of the DDpp to the target and (b)detecting binding of the DDpp and target. The DDpp may be either free orimmobilized. Sufficient time is allowed to permit binding between thetarget of interest and the DDpp, and non-binding components in thesolution or mixture are removed or washed away. The formation of abinding complex between the DDpp and the target of interest can then bedetected, for example, by detecting the signal from a label on the DDpp,which is one component of the binding complex. A label may be any labelthat generates a signal that can be detected by standard methods, suchas a fluorescent label, a radioactive compound, or an enzyme that reactswith a substrate to generate a detectable signal. Examples of suitablelabels for such purposes are described herein and/or otherwise known inthe art.

DDpp that bind to a target of interest such as BCMA, CD123, CS1, HER2,AFP, or AFP p26 can be detectably labeled through the use ofradioisotopes, affinity labels (such as biotin, avidin, etc.), enzymaticlabels (such as horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, etc.)using methods known in the art, such as described in WO00/70023 and(Harlow and Lane (1989) Antibodies, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, pp.1-726).

The detectable marker or label can be any which is capable of producing,either directly or indirectly, a measurable signal, such as aradioactive, chromogenic, luminescence, or fluorescent signal, which canbe used to quantitate the amount of bound detectable moiety or label ina sample. Detectable labels known in the art include radioisotopes, suchas ³H, ⁴C, ³²P, ³⁵S, or ¹²⁵I, electrochemiluminescent labels (such asRuthenium (Ru)-based catalyst in conjunction with substrates, etc.),luminescent or bioluminescent labels (e.g., Europium, Vanadium),fluorescent or chemiluminescent compounds, such as fluoresceinisothiocyanate, rhodamine, or luciferin, enzymes (e.g., enzyme, such asalkaline phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, or horseradish peroxidase),colorimetric labels such as colloidal gold, colored glass or plasticbeads (e.g., polystyrene, polypropylene, latex, etc.), paramagneticatoms or magnetic agents, electron-dense reagents, a nano- or micro-beadcontaining a fluorescent dye, nanocrystals, a quantum dot, a quantumbead, a nanotag, dendrimers with a fluorescent label, amicro-transponder, an electron donor molecule or molecular structure, ora light reflecting particle, the microparticles may be nanocrystals orquantum dots. Nanocrystals are substances that absorb photons of light,then re-emit photons at a different wavelength (fluorophores). Inaddition, additional fluorescent labels, or secondary antibodies may beconjugated to the nanocrystals. Nanocrystals are commercially availablefrom sources such as Invitrogen and Evident Technologies (Troy, N.Y.).Other labels include E)-5-[2-(methoxycarbonyl) ethenyl]cytidine, whichis a nonfluorescent molecule that when subjected to ultraviolet (UV)irradiation yields a product, 3beta-D-ribofuranosyl-2,7-dioxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine, which displays astrong fluorescence signal.

Competitive inhibition can be determined by any method known in the art,for example, competition ELISA assays. A DDpp, such as a DDpp fusionprotein (e.g., a DDpp-Fc, DDpp-CAR, a DDpp-scFv), or other molecule issaid to “competitively inhibit” binding of a reference molecule to agiven epitope if it binds to that epitope to the extent that it blocks,to some degree, binding of the reference molecule to the epitope. Asused herein, a DDpp (e.g., a DDpp fusion protein), or other molecule canbe said to competitively inhibit binding of the reference molecule to agiven epitope, for example, by at least 90%, at least 80%, at least 70%,at least 60%, at least 50%, by at least 40%, at least 30%, or at least20%. The terms “compete,” “ability to compete” and “competes with” arerelative terms used to describe a DDpp, such as a DDpp fusion protein,that produce at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, or at least 50%inhibition of binding of a reference molecule to a target by a DDpp suchas a DDpp fusion protein (e.g., a DDpp-Fc, DDpp CAR, a DDpp-scFv, and anantibody-comprising a DDpp) as determined in a standard competitionassay as described herein or otherwise known in the art, including, butnot limited to, competitive assay systems using techniques such asradioimmunoassays (RIA), enzyme immunoassays (EIA), preferably theenzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), “sandwich” immunoassays,immunoradiometric assays, fluorescent immunoassays, luminescent,electrochemical luminescent, and immunoelectrophoresis assays. Methodsfor determining binding and affinity of candidate binding molecules areknown in the art and include, but are not limited to, affinitychromatography, size exclusion chromatography, equilibrium dialysis,fluorescent probe displacement, and plasma resonance.

Therapeutics

The DD described herein are useful in a variety of applicationsincluding, but not limited to, therapeutic treatment methods, which maybe in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo methods.

The application as a therapeutic entity is an attribute of the targetbinding specificity of the DDpp. The incorporation of DDpp withinvarious molecular compositions, (e.g., a DD-antibody fusions, DD-drugconjugates and DD-chimeric receptors) affords application in a varietyof therapeutic indications and modalities, which include, but notlimited to soluble and cell-associated compositions.

In one embodiment, the DDpp is a soluble fusion protein made up of anoptional epitope tag 10 and a targeting domain that binds to a targetthat is associated with a disease or disorder of the metabolic,cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neurological, or skeletal system. Inother embodiments, the DDpp is a soluble fusion protein that binds to atarget that is associated with yeast, fungal, viral or bacterialinfection or disease. In some embodiments, the DDpp is a soluble fusionprotein that binds to a target that is associated with a disease ordisorder of the immune system.

Also provided are therapeutic compositions useful for practicingtherapeutic methods described herein. In one embodiment, therapeuticcompositions provided herein contain a physiologically tolerable carriertogether with at least one species of DDpp fusion as described herein,dissolved or dispersed therein as an active ingredient. In anotherembodiment, therapeutic compositions provided herein contain aphysiologically tolerable carrier together with at least one species ofa DDpp as described herein, dissolved or dispersed therein as an activeingredient. In a preferred embodiment, therapeutic composition is notimmunogenic when administered to a human patient for therapeuticpurposes.

The preparation of a pharmacological composition that contains activeingredients dissolved or dispersed therein is well understood in theart. Typically such compositions are prepared as sterile injectableseither as liquid solutions or suspensions, aqueous or non-aqueous.However, solid forms suitable for solution, or suspensions, in liquidprior to use can also be prepared. The preparation can also beemulsified. Thus, a DDpp-containing composition can take the form ofsolutions, suspensions, tablets, capsules, sustained releaseformulations or powders, or other compositional forms. In someembodiments, the DDpp compositions (e.g., a DDpp fusion proteins) areformulated to ensure or optimize distribution in vivo, For example, theblood-brain barrier (BBB) excludes many highly hydrophilic compounds andif so desired, the compositions are prepared so as to increase transferacross the BBB, by for example, formulation in liposomes. For methods ofmanufacturing liposomes, see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,522,811, 5,374,548,and 5,399,331. The liposomes can comprise one or more moieties that areselectively transported into specific cells or organs, thus enhancetargeted drug delivery (see, e.g., Ranade, Clin. Pharmacol. 29: 685(1989)).

The DDpp (e.g. DDpp fusion protein) can be mixed other activeingredients and/or excipients that are pharmaceutically acceptable andcompatible with the active ingredient and in amounts suitable for use intherapeutic methods described herein. Suitable excipients are, forexample, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol, ethanol or the like andcombinations thereof. In addition, if desired, the composition cancontain minor amounts of auxiliary substances such as wetting oremulsifying agents, pH buffering agents and the like which enhance theeffectiveness of the active ingredient.

Therapeutic DDpp can include pharmaceutically acceptable salts of thecomponents therein. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include the acidaddition salts (formed with the free amino groups of the polypeptide)that are formed with inorganic acids such as, for example, hydrochloricor phosphoric acids, or such organic acids as acetic, tartaric, mandelicand the like. Salts formed with the free carboxyl groups can also bederived from inorganic bases such as, for example, sodium, potassium,ammonium, calcium or ferric hydroxides, and such organic bases asisopropylamine, trimethylarnine, 2-ethylamino ethanol, histidine,procaine and the like.

Physiologically tolerable carriers are known in the art. Exemplary ofliquid carriers are sterile aqueous solutions that contain no materialsin addition to the active ingredients and water, or contain a buffersuch as sodium phosphate at physiological pH value, physiological salineor both, such as phosphate-buffered saline. Still further, aqueouscarriers can contain more than one buffer salt, as well as salts such assodium and potassium chlorides, dextrose, propylene glycol, polyethyleneglycol, and other solutes.

Liquid compositions can also contain liquid phases in addition to, andto the exclusion of water. Exemplary of such additional liquid phasesare glycerin, vegetable oils such as cottonseed oil, organic esters suchas ethyl oleate, and water-oil emulsions.

In one embodiment, a therapeutic composition contains a DDpp fusionprotein, typically in an amount of at least 0.1 weight percent of DDppfusion protein per weight of total therapeutic composition. A weightpercent is a ratio by weight of DDpp fusion per total composition. Thus,for example, 0.1 weight percent is 0.1 grams of DDpp per 100 grams oftotal composition.

A DDpp fusion protein-containing therapeutic composition typicallycontains about 10 micrograms (μg) per milliliter (ml) to about 100milligrams (mg) per ml of DDpp fusion protein as active ingredient pervolume of composition, and more preferably contains about 1 mg/ml toabout 10 mg/ml (i.e., about 0.1 to 1 weight percent).

The dosage ranges for the administration of the DDpp (e.g., a DDppfusion protein) are those large enough to produce the desired effect inwhich the disease symptoms mediated by the target molecule areameliorated. The dosage should not be so large as to cause adverse sideeffects, such as hyperviscosity syndromes, pulmonary edema, congestiveheart failure, and the like. Generally, the dosage will vary with theage, condition, sex and extent of the disease in the patient and can bedetermined by one of skill in the art. The dosage can be adjusted by theindividual physician in the event of any complication.

The DDpp (e.g., a DDpp fusion protein) can be administered parenterallyby injection or by gradual infusion over time. Although the targetmolecule can typically be accessed in the body by systemicadministration and therefore most often treated by intravenousadministration of therapeutic compositions, other tissues and deliverymeans are contemplated where there is a likelihood that the tissuetargeted contains the target molecule. Thus, DDpp can be administeredintravenously, intraperitoneally, intramuscularly, subcutaneously,intracavity, transdermally, and can be delivered by peristaltic means.DDpp fusion proteins can also be delivered by aerosol to airways andlungs.

Therapeutic compositions containing a DDpp can be conventionallyadministered intravenously, as by injection of a unit dose, for example.The term “unit dose” when used in reference to a therapeutic compositionprovided herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitarydosage for the subject, each unit containing a predetermined quantity ofactive material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect inassociation with the required diluent; e.g., carrier, or vehicle. Insome embodiments, therapeutic compositions containing a DDpp areadministered subcutaneously.

The DDpp (e.g., a DDpp fusion protein) are administered in a mannercompatible with the dosage formulation, and in a therapeuticallyeffective amount. The quantity to be administered depends on the subjectto be treated, capacity of the subject's system to utilize the activeingredient of the administered composition, and degree of therapeuticeffect desired. Precise amounts of active ingredient required to beadministered depend on the judgment of the practitioner and are peculiarto each individual. However, suitable dosage ranges for systemicapplication are disclosed herein and depend on the route ofadministration. Suitable regimes for administration are also variable,but are typified by an initial administration followed by repeated dosesat one or more hour intervals by a subsequent injection or otheradministration. Alternatively, continuous intravenous infusionsufficient to maintain concentrations in the blood in the rangesspecified for in vivo therapies are contemplated.

The DDpp compositions are formulated, dosed, and administered in afashion consistent with good medical practice. Factors for considerationin this context include the particular disorder being treated, theparticular mammal being treated, the clinical condition of theindividual patient, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery ofthe agent, the method of administration, the scheduling ofadministration, and other factors known to medical practitioners. Thedosage ranges for the administration of the DDpp are those large enoughto produce the desired effect in which the disease symptoms mediated bythe target molecule are ameliorated. The dosage should not be so largeas to cause adverse side effects, such as, hyperviscosity syndromes,pulmonary edema, congestive heart failure, and the like. Generally, thedosage will vary with the age, condition, sex and extent of the diseasein the patient and can be determined by one of skill in the art. Thedosage can be adjusted by the individual physician in the event of anycomplication.

The dosage schedule and amounts effective for therapeutic andprophylactic uses, i.e., the “dosing regimen,” will depend upon avariety of factors, including the cause, stage and severity of thedisease or disorder, the health, physical status, age of the mammalbeing treated, and the site and mode of the delivery of the DD.Therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of the complex and formation can bedetermined by standard pharmaceutical, pharmacological, andtoxicological procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals. Dataobtained from these procedures can likewise be used in formulating arange of dosages for human use. Moreover, therapeutic index (i.e., thedose therapeutically effective in 50 percent of the population dividedby the dose lethal to 50 percent of the population (ED50/LD50)) canreadily be determined using known procedures. The dosage is preferablywithin a range of concentrations that includes the ED50 with littletoxicity or none dose limiting toxicity, and may vary within this rangedepending on the dosage form employed, sensitivity of the patient, andthe route of administration.

The dosage regimen also takes into consideration pharmacokineticsparameters known in the art, such as, drug absorption rate,bioavailability, metabolism and clearance (see, e.g., Hidalgo-Aragones,J. Steroid Biochem. Mol. Biol. 58: 611-617 (1996); Groning et al.,Pharmazie 51: 337-341 (1996); Fotherby, Contraception 54: 59-69 (1996);and Johnson et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 84: 1144-1146 (1995)). It is wellwithin the state and level of skill of the clinician to determine thedosage regimen for each subject being treated. Moreover, single ormultiple administrations of DDpp compositions can be administereddepending on the dosage and frequency as required and tolerated by thesubject. The duration of prophylactic and therapeutic treatment willvary depending on the particular disease or condition being treated.Some diseases are amenable to acute treatment whereas others requirelong-term, chronic therapy. DDpp can be administered serially, orsimultaneously with the additional therapeutic agent.

In some embodiments, the DDpp is administered at about 1 mg/kg to about50 mg/kg, about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, about 1 mg/kg to about 20mg/kg, about 1 mg/kg to about 15 mg/kg, about 1 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg,or about 1 mg/kg to about 5 mg/kg.

In another embodiment, the DDpp is administered in combination with oneor more additional therapeutics.

A therapeutically effective amount of the DDpp (e.g., a DDpp fusionprotein) can be an amount such that when administered in aphysiologically tolerable composition is sufficient to achieve a plasmaconcentration of from about 0.1 microgram (μg) per milliliter (ml) toabout 100 μg/ml, preferably from about 1 μg/ml to about 5 μg/ml, andusually about 5 μg/ml. Stated differently, the dosage can vary fromabout 0.1 mg/kg to about 300 mg/kg, preferably from about 0.2 mg/kg toabout 200 mg/kg, most preferably from about 0.5 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg,in one or more dose administrations daily, for one or several days.

Conjugates of theDDpp and cytotoxin can routinely be made using a variety of bifunctionalprotein-coupling agents such as N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyidithiol)propionate (SPDP), iminothiolane (IT), bifunctional derivatives ofimidoesters (such as dimethyl adipimidate HCL), active esters (such asdisuccinimidyl suberate), aldehydes (such as glutaraldehyde), bis-azidocompounds (such as bis(p-azidobenzoyl) hexanediamine), bis-diazoniumderivatives (such as bis-(p-diazo-niumbenzoyl)-ethylenediamine),diisocyanates (such as tolyene 2,6-diisocyanate), and bis-activefluorine compounds (such as 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene). In aspecific embodiment, the toxin is conjugated to a DDpp fusion proteinthrough an enzyme-cleavable linker system (e.g., such as that present inSGN-35). Conjugates of a DDpp and one or more small molecule toxins,such as a calicheamicin, maytansinoids, a trichothene, and CC1065, andthe derivatives of these toxins that have toxin activity, can also beused.

In some embodiments, the cytotoxic agent is covalently attached to aDDpp by a linker. In some embodiments, the linker attaching the DDpp andthe cytotoxic agent is cleavable by a protease.

EXAMPLES Example 1. Isolation and Characterization of DDpp that BindExemplary Targets of Interest

A DDpp library prepared as described in Intl. Appl. Publ. Nos.WO2016164305 and WO 2016164369, was screened for phage the bind BCMA,CD123, AFP, or AFP p26 through multiple rounds of selection. Thecontents of each of Intl. Appl. Publ. Nos. WO2016164305 and WO2016164369, is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety).

Individual colonies containing phagemid from BCMA panning output werepicked and phage were rescued in 96-well format using VCSM13 helperphage following standard protocols. To assay target binding by ELISA,96-well plates were coated with 1.3 microg/ml goat anti-human IgG1-Fcantibody followed by incubation with 5 nM of recombinant human target(BCMA-Fc, CD123-Fc, AFP, or AFP123) or IgG1-Fc. 50 microl of rescuedphage diluted 5× in ELISA blocking buffer was then added to each well.Binding was detected using an HRP-conjugated anti-M13 antibody and theELISA ratio for each sequence is reported as the absorbance at 450 nmfor target (i.e., BCMA-Fc, CD123-Fc, AFP, or AFP123) divided by that forIgG1-Fc averaged across all screened wells containing that clone.

Example 2. DDpp Fusion Proteins

To assess the modular nature of DDpp as a binding element, the DDppCD137-binder, bb10 (SEQ ID NO: 876), was reformatted as a fusion toeither the N or C terminus of the heavy chain of an antibody derivedfrom the sequence of the RSV-specific monoclonal antibody palivizumab(SYNAGIS@). Bi-specific antibodies, SYN-bb10 and bb10-SYN exhibitbinding to both CD137 and RSV (FIGS. 1A-1B; closed squares are bb10-SYN,closed circles are SYN-bb10)), demonstrating that a novel bindingactivity was imparted to the parental D domain sequence and thefunctionality of DDpp is retained as both N and C-terminal fusion. Incontrast, fusions between a target-less alpha-helical protein scaffold(SEQ ID NO: 1) and SYN (DD-SYN for N-terminal fusion, open circles;SYN-DD for C-terminal fusion, open squares) showed binding only to RSV,but no binding to CD137.

Binding of DDpp, bb10 to CD137 directly bound to plastic wasdemonstrated using ELISA (FIGS. 1A-1B). Binding of DDpp bb10 to CD137 aspart of a cell membrane was also observed in situ, using FACS (data notshown)

Example 3. DDpp-CARs Expressed in Human T Cells Produce Cytokines onTarget Binding

The ability of target: DDpp-CAR-expressing T cell engagement to resultinduce cytokine secretion was assessed by 293T cells were transientlytransfecting 293T cells with 3rd generation lentiviral packaging vectors(pRSV-REV, pMDLg/pRRE, and pMD2.G) with pELNS vectors encoding DDpp-CARsusing LIPOFECTAMINE@ 3000. Six hours post-transfection the media waschanged, then lentivirus containing media was collected at 30 and 54hours post-transfection, pooled, then centrifuged to remove cell debris.Lentivirus was then aliquoted and stored at −80° C. until used for viraltransduction. Transduction of human T cells with CAR lentivirus wasperformed using total human PBMCs, activated with aCD3/CD28 T cellactivation beads in culture media supplemented with 40 U/ml of IL2.After 24 hours, 2×10⁶ PBMCs were plated per well in a 6-well tissueculture plate with 1 ml of culture media and 3 ml of lentiviruscontaining media supplemented with 40U/ml of IL2 and protamine sulfate.Plates were then centrifuged for 2 hours at 1000×g at 32° C. and thenincubated overnight 37° C. The following day the lentivirus transductionprocedure was repeated with fresh culture media andlentivirus-containing media. 72 hours after the initial cell activation,T cell activation beads were removed, then T cells were cultured forexpansion at ˜0.25−0.5×10⁶ T cells/ml in fresh media supplemented with100U/ml of IL2. Every 2-3 days T cells were supplemented with additionalT cell media and IL2, until they were used for the cytokine assays(described below) 7-10 days after the initial activation.

Cytokine production in response to target antigen expression (CD123) wasassessed by culturing 25,000 transduced T cells (7 days post-activation)with 25,000 non-target (K562, CD123-) or target (BDCM, CD123+) tumorcells per well in 96-well plates. After 24 hours culture supernatantswere collected and cytokine production was assessed by ELISA. Culturesupernatants were diluted 1:5 prior to ELISA. Similarly, cytokineproduction in response to PDL1 target antigen expression was assessed byculturing 25,000 transduced T cells (7-days post activation) with 25,000non-target (K562, PDL1) or target (SUDHL1, PDL1⁺) tumor cells per wellin 96-well plates. After 24 hours culture supernatants were collectedand cytokine production was assessed by ELISA. Culture supernatants werediluted 1:5 prior to ELISA.

FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B demonstrate that T cells expressing CD123 bindingDDpp-CARs produce interferon gamma (IFNγ) following stimulation withCD123⁺ BDCM cells, but not the CD123 cell line K562. FIG. 2C and FIG. 2Ddemonstrates that T cells expressing CD123 binding DDpp-CARs produceinterleukin 2 (IL2) following stimulation with CD123⁺ BDCM cells, butnot the CD123⁻ cell line K562. Similarly, FIGS. 2E and 2F demonstratethat T cells expressing PDL1 binding DDpp-CARs produce interferon gamma(IFNγ) and IL2 respectively following stimulation with PDL1⁺ SUDHL1cells but not the PDL1 cell line K562.

Example 4. DDpp-CAR Transduced T Cells do not Display PhenotypesAssociated with T Cell Exhaustion

To assess potential antigen-independent exhaustion in T cells expressingDDpp-CARs, transduced T cells (day 10 post-activation) were stained withantibodies against CD3 and markers of T cell exhaustion (LAG3, PD1, andTIM3). FIG. 3A summarizes data from individual experiments acrossseveral T cell donors. The data demonstrate that expression of theexhaustion markers was not enhanced in CD123-binding DDpp-CAR T cellsover that observed with the anti-CD123 CAR comprising the scFv (32176).FIG. 3B shows representative flow cytometry data of LAG3, PD1, and TIM3expression in T cells transduced with either a scFv-containing CAR (toprow) or a DDpp-CAR (in this particular experiment CD123 targeting cg06)10 days after the initial activation of the T cells. The similarity ofthese data again demonstrate that DDpp-CAR T cells do not upregulateexpression of exhaustion markers, which lends further support to theirefficacy in cancer immunotherapy.

Example 5. DDpp-CAR Expressing T Cells Exhibit Target-SpecificDegranulation and Tumor Cytotoxicity

To assess degranulation of T cells expressing DDpp-CARs, 1×0l transducedT cells (day 9 post-activation) were cultured in T cell media for 4hours in the presence of monensin and PE-conjugated CD107a/LAMP1. Tcells were cultured alone (FIG. 4A) or in the presence of 2×10⁵non-target tumor cells (K562, which are CD123-, FIG. 4B ortarget-expressing tumor cells (BDCM, CD123+, FIG. 4C), then washed andstained for CD3 expression. T cell degranulation was then assessed byflow cytometry, first gating on the CD3+SSC-low cells (non-tumor), thenthe CD3+CD107a+ cells. Symbols represent samples from individualexperiments using multiple donors.

The production of CD107a (a marker of degranulation of the DDpp-CAR Tcells) was equivalent to negative controls when CD123-targeting DDpp-CART cells were cultured alone. Limited CD107a expression when DDpp-CAR Tcells were co-cultured with CD123 negative K562 tumor cells andsignificant CD107a expression was observed when CD123-targeting DDpp-CART cells were co-cultured with CD123 positive BDCM cells (data notshown). These data indicate that the T cells are activated, undergoingsignaling, undergoing degranulation, and will result in tumoreradication. These data also provide further support for thetarget-dependent activation of DDpp-CAR expressing T cells.

The cytolytic activity of DDpp-CAR T cells was assessed using T cellsprepared from two independent donors. Donor #1 (FIG. 5A-5B) DDpp-CAR Tcells effectively kill the CD123 expressing tumor, BDCM, but show verylittle cytolytic activity on the CD123 negative tumor, K562. Similarresults were observed with Donor #2 (FIGS. 5C and 5D).

Example 6. Bi-Specific DDpp

As discussed above, DDpp can be monovalent or multivalent and/ormultispecific. To evaluate the ability of multispecific DDppCAR T cellsto elicit an immune response, bi-specific DDpp-CARs were expressed onJurkat cells and intracellular signaling in response to tumor cellsexpressing one or both targets was measured. Two bi-specific DDppCARswere constructed that differed in the fusion order of the bindingdomains. CG06-pb04 has the pb04 domain fused to the CD8a transmembraneregion while the pb04-cg06 has the cgo6 domain fused to the CD8atransmembrane region. Both constructs utilized a GS linker between thetarget-binding domains.

FIG. 6A demonstrates that DDpp-CARs comprising cg06 only, pb04 only(FIG. 6B),cg06-pb04, (FIG. 5C), and pb04-cg06 (FIG. 5D) can betransduced and expressed in the Jurkat NFAT reporter cell line asassessed by anti-FLAG mAb binding to the CARs. The ability of themono-specific and bi-specific CARs to activate the NFAT pathway wasassessed by co-culturing the various CARs with tumor cells withdifferent level of CD123 and/or PDL1 expression. Cells were co-culturedwith target cells for 6 hours. NFAT mediated signaling was measuredthrough the addition to the cells of luciferase assay reagent (Promega)and quantitation of relative luminescence units (RLU) as a measure ofinduced intracellular signaling.

FIG. 6E depicts the results of this experiment. The leftmost group ofbars and the histogram show the relative kill effect of the cg06 DDppagainst various cell types. Signaling response after co-culture withhighly CD123+ BDCM was the greatest with this DDpp-CAR. The next groupto the right depicts data showing intracellular signaling afterco-culture of the pb04 DDpp against the same cell types. Signaling washighest in BDCM, followed by SUHDL1, and H460 (these are the highestexpressing cell lines for CD123 and PDL1 (data not shown)). The nextgroup to the right depicts data showing intracellular signaling of abi-specific cg06-pb04 DDpp (cg06 more distal to the T cell membrane ascompared to pb04). Finally, the rightmost group shows intracellularsignaling from a second bi-specific DBPpp (pb04-cg06 DDpp, where pb04 ismore distal to the T cell membrane as compared to cg06). These twogroups indicate that bi-specific DDpp-CARs do function to promoteintracellular signaling. In accordance with embodiments, bi-specificDDpp-CARs show enhanced activity (the magnitude of intracellularsignaling in the pb04-cg06 group with BDCM cells is greater than can beaccounted for by just the pb04 DDpp alone). Thus in some embodiments,DDpp-CARs comprising two DDpps can cooperate to enhance T cell function.In some embodiments, there is a synergy between the various DDpp used ina bispecific (or other multimeric) DDpp-CAR.

Example 7. Use of Dual Binding Domain Adapters to Enhance CAR Signalling

50,000 reporter cells previously transduced with an AFP (p26domain)-binding CAR (af03) (SEQ ID NO: 961) were cultured for 5 hours inthe presence of the CD123-specific Cg06-adaptor (Cg06-p26, SEQ ID NO:953) or the Cg06-dual adaptor protein (Cg06-p26-Cg06, SEQ ID NO: 956) inthe presence of 50,000 CD123⁺ MOLM13 or CD123-deficient MOLM13 cells,then assessed for luciferase activity. CD123 deficient cells weregenerated using CRISPR/Cas9 genetic engineering technology (FIG. 7A).Similarly, 50,000 reporter cells previously transduced with an AFP (p26domain)-binding CAR (af03) (SEQ ID NO: 961) were cultured for 5 hours inthe presence of the BCMA-specific Bc40-adaptor (Bc40-p26, SEQ ID NO:954) or the Bc40-dual adaptor protein (Bc40-p26-Bc40, SEQ ID NO: 957) inthe presence or absence of 50,000 BCMA⁺ U266 cells, then assessed forluciferase activity (FIG. 7B).

FIGS. 7A and 7B show that dual-binding (bi-valent) domain adaptorproteins drive enhanced signaling by CAR-expressing Jurkat cells oversingle-binding domain adaptor proteins.

Example 8. DDpp-Mediated Tumor Immunotherapy In Vivo

To assess the in vivo anti-tumor activity of a DDpp CAR, T cells weretransduced with bc40 DDpp CAR (BCMA targeting CAR). Bc40 is SEQ ID NO:164. Transduced cells (5×10E6) were administered intravenously to NSGmice 34 days after mice received 10E7 cells of the BCMA expressing,luciferase/gfp labeled U226 tumor cells. As shown in FIG. 8, four micereceived the U226 tumor on Day 0 which progressive grew through Day 32.On Day 34, mouse #1, #2, and #4 received bc40-DDpp CAR T cells. Mouse #3received no T cells. On Day 45, the U226 tumor was cleared in micereceiving CAR T cells while the mouse that did not receive T cells diedof tumor burden.
